Join us in sunny San Antonio - where Southern charm meets the hospitable sirit of Texas - for the first ultrasound course of the year. With average January temperatures of 62 degrees, leave the winter weather behind and take advantage of the history, culture and Texas-sized fun that San Antonio has to offer. In a relaxed setting, some of the nation's top physicians will offer the "best in class" thinking on leading issues in OB/GYN ultrasound. Attend the half-day "Nuchal Translucency Course" and/or the three-day "Advances in OB-GYN Ultrasound" course, offered back-to-back. Course Objectives Upon completion of this conference, the participant will be able to: • Understand current ultrasound evaluation of fetal anomalies and fetal well-being • Know the rationale for first trimester genetic screening • Perform nuchal translucency measurements • Understand the expanding role of 3D ultrasound in obstetrical and gynecological diagnosis • Improve his/her skills in fetal cardiac diagnosis

As an increasing number of procedures requiring sedation are done in the outpatient setting, Sedation Consulting has developed this course to help physicians and nurses involved in sedation administration to minimize the risks associated with the anesthesia or analgesia being provided for procedural sedation. This course is designed to introduce non-anesthesiologist providers to techniques to safely incorporate the use of hypnotic agents for procedural sedation for ambulatory surgery and office based practices. Increase patient satisfaction and margin of safety by decreasing the amount of sedatives required and by virtually eliminating post operative nausea and vomiting. Patients are at less risk when recovery time is significately decreased from hours to minutes. *With the use of P/K anesthesia technique PONV (post operative nausea and vomiting) is decreased to less than 1% or 0.6% without the use of anti-emetics, 30% less anesthetic is required, outliers are eliminated, patient safety and satisfaction are dramatically improved. Course Objectives At completion of this course participants should be able to: Dispel the myths and misinformation surrounding propofol administration by non-anesthesiologists Oversee and delegate the sedation administration Describe the standards and regulations as related to office based anesthesia and analgesia Describe and utilize the necessary monitoring and emergency equipment required Demonstrate airway management using multiple devices Describe related pharmacology of sedatives, reversal agents and emergency medications Describe appropriate monitoring and documentation Develop acceptable recovery & discharge protocols Faculty Dr. Barry Friedberg, a board certified anesthesiologist, recognized as a medical expert in anesthesia by the California Medical Board in addition to the legal profession. His expertise has been lent to a number of peer-reviewed medical journals for review. Dr. Friedberg is also a contributor to the letters to the editor section in several anesthesia and surgery journals. Dr. Friedberg is considered a pioneer in propofol/ketamine or PK anesthesia techniques What Participants Are Saying: "The practice of medicine requires a lifetime commitment to learning and flexibilty to provide the best care for our patients. Unfortunately, the practice of plastic surgery tends to be inflexible and focused on the use of general anesthesia which in my opinion is more for the surgeon’s convenience rather than the patient’s in many cases. As it has been my focus to perform natural aesthetic procedures which are safe, under local anesthesia with light sedation and with a quicker recovery, Dr. Friedberg’s contribution to my practice through his experience is truly appreciated." Amiya Prasad MD, Cosmetic Surgeon New York, NY "Barry Friedberg, MD (Anesthesiologist) has masterfully developed the PK Anestheisa concept and he has honed this technique to perfection. Take his course!" Robert A. Shumway, MD, FACS San Diego, CA

Course Objectives____ At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to: * Describe the advantages of stereotactic biopsy * Explain when stereotactic biopsy is the preferred method * Discuss the workup of the patient prior to stereotactic biopsy Position the patient properly for stereotactic biopsy Know how to properly target a lesion for biopsy Solve problems that arise during stereotactic biopsy

A one day workshop for physicians and technologists presenting an in-depth look at stereotactic biopsy with a hands-on approach. Class size limited to 36 participants. Visit http://www.worldclasscme.com for full conference details and to register.

This two-day workshop will address the need to integrate quality improvement and safety into medical education. Designed for health profession educators, this workshop will disseminate the knowledge and tools necessary to successfully implement QI and safety education in undergraduate medical education (UME), graduate medical education (GME), continuing medical education (CME), and allied health schools.
