Upcoming Medical Conferences in Loma Linda

Management and Utilization of the RDAEF Conference is organized by Loma Linda University School of Dentistry (LLUSD) and will be held on Feb 16, 2020 at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, Loma Linda, California, United States of America. Credits: This course meets the Dental Board of California’s requirements for 7 units of continuing education. Synopsis: There is strong evidence that allied dental personnel increase productivity of dental offices and clinics. In 2010, via AB 2637, California Registered Dental Assistants in Extended Functions (RDAEF) received additional restorative functions, allowable under the direct supervision of a dentist. These functions include: • Conduct preliminary evaluation of the patient's oral health, including (but not limited to) charting, intraoral and extra-oral evaluation of soft tissue, classifying occlusion, and myofunctional evaluation. • Perform oral health assessments in school-based, community health project settings under the direction of a dentist, registered dental hygienist, or registered dental hygienist in alternative practice. • Size and fit endodontic master points and accessory points. • Cement endodontic master points and accessory points. • Take final impressions for tooth-borne removable prosthesis. • Place, contour, finish, and adjust all direct restorations. • Polish and contour existing amalgam restorations. • Adjust and cement permanent indirect restorations. • Perform cord retraction of gingiva for impression procedures. • Take final impressions for permanent indirect restorations. The purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the Loma Linda University RDAEF program and details of the extensive training that the students receive. You will have an opportunity to see the quality of work that these students have produced. At the end of the course, dentists will be informed on how to evaluate the direct restorations placed by the RDAEFs in their practice. Objectives: • Understand the California laws and regulations pertaining to the scope of duties and utilization of the RDAEF2 in practice. • Gain an in-depth knowledge of the RDAEF curriculum. • Learn from other dentists how the RDAEF2 has improved their dental practices. • Learn how stress can be reduced and moral is raised by the utilization of the RDAEF2. • Learn how to incorporate the RDAEF2 into your practice. • See images of the outstanding work performed by the RDAEF students. • Be calibrated to perform evaluations of restorations performed by the RDAEF2 in your practice.

Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) Course is organized by Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) Education Programs and will be held from Mar 04 - 05, 2020 at Loma Linda University Medical Center, Loma Linda, California, United States of America. This Course has been approved for a maximum of 14 contact hours (2 days) or 7 contact hours (1 day). The target audience for this medical event is useful to physical therapists, paramedics, social workers, dietitians, respiratory therapists, speech and occupational therapists, LVNs/LPNs, and others who interact with the hospitalized trauma patient. Course description: Through instruction and advocacy, the mission of TCAR Education Programs is to expand the knowledge base and clinical reasoning skills of nurses who work with injured patients anywhere along the trauma continuum of care, particularly in the post-resuscitation phase. By partnering with trauma centers and trauma systems, TCAR Education Programs provides adult and pediatric inpatient nurses an outstanding learning experience designed to meet educational goals, improve patient outcomes, and fulfill regulatory requirements. Unlike standardized trauma programs targeted at prehospital and emergency care providers, the Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) course was specifically created to meet the learning needs of INPATIENT trauma nurses. This live, 2-day educational offerings give hospital staff members the foundational, evidence-based information and critical thinking skills necessary to meet regulatory requirements and provide excellent care to this challenging patient population. The TCAR course offers emergency, perioperative, critical care, and acute care, and rehabilitation nurses the foundational, evidence-based information and critical thinking skills necessary to address the needs of the hospitalized trauma patient. TCAR covers a wide range of pathophysiologic and nursing concepts and is designed to be a broad, core-level program, rather than an advanced or specialty-specific course. Course Objectives: By the end of the class, participants will be able to: • Describe the trauma continuum of care. • Explain the biomechanics of common injuries. • Anticipate specific wounds and complications based on mechanism of injury information • Discuss the body's multisystem responses to traumatic insults • Incorporate physical assessment, imaging studies, and laboratory data to evaluate the hospitalized trauma patient • Describe appropriate medial, surgical, and nursing interventions for frequently encountered injuries

Pediatric Care After Resuscitation (PCAR) Course is organized by Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) Education Programs and will be held from Apr 06 - 07, 2020 at Loma Linda University Medical Center, Loma Linda, California, United States of America. This course has been approved for a maximum of 2 class days (14 contact hours) or 1 day (7 contact hours). The target audience for this medical event is useful to physical therapists, paramedics, social workers, dieticians, respiratory therapists, speech and occupational therapists, LVNs/LPNs, and others who interact with pediatric trauma inpatients.  Course description: Through instruction and advocacy, the mission of TCAR Education Programs is to expand the knowledge base and clinical reasoning skills of nurses who work with injured patients anywhere along the trauma continuum of care, particularly in the post-resuscitation phase. By partnering with trauma centers and trauma systems, TCAR Education Programs provides adult and pediatric inpatient nurses an outstanding learning experience designed to meet educational goals, improve patient outcomes, and fulfill regulatory requirements. PCAR (Pediatric Care After Resuscitation) is the pediatric-specific version of the adult focused TCAR course, ideal for nurses who primarily or exclusively care for children. The PCAR course offers emergency, perioperative, critical care, acute care, and rehabilitation nurses the foundational, evidence-based information and critical thinking skills necessary to address the needs of the hospitalized, injured child. PCAR covers a wide range of pathophysiologic and nursing concepts and is designed to be a broad, core-level program, rather than an advanced or specialty-specific course. Course Objectives: By the end of the class, participants will be able to: • Describe the trauma continuum of care. • Explain the biomechanics of common injuries. • Anticipate specific wounds and complications based on mechanism of injury information • Discuss the body's multisystem responses to traumatic insults • Incorporate physical assessment, imaging studies, and laboratory data to evaluate the hospitalized trauma patient • Describe appropriate medial, surgical, and nursing interventions for frequently encountered injuries Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
