Description
A half-day conference held at ETSU Quillen College of Medicine. A large group didactic session begins the day to present the clinical anatomy and evidence-based approaches to the procedure. This is followed by small group, experiential sessions where participants will observe and identify relevant anatomy via pro-sections and virtual reality, demonstrate competency for these procedures on a surgical reality donors prepared through the modified Thiel embalming method, and apply the skills and knowledge gained in a simulation scenario.

Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this activity, the participant will be able to:
• Confidently perform a central venous line placement
• Explain the pros and cons of the various locations of central venous lines from standpoints of patient care and procedural difficulties
• Rate the various approaches to central venous line placement in terms of appropriateness for various clinical purposes
• Learn how to safely and effectively remove a central line
Understand how the important anatomical relationships can be identified with ultrasound imaging
