Upcoming Medical Conferences in Monterey

ObGyn Ultrasound Hands-On Workshop is organized by Sonosession and will be held on Aug 24, 2019 at Monterey, California, United States of America. This Course has been approved for a maximum of 12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Course Description: We have combined hands-on scanning sessions with online lectures and hands-on scanning videos to provide a comprehensive approach to learning OB GYN ultrasound. Students will receive immediate access to online lectures to watch at their convenience before the hands on session. These lectures include foundational information in ultrasound physics, anatomy, scanning technique, pathology and terminology. Access to these lectures will be for one year. The hands on scanning session will take place at our Monterey, CA training center. All scanning sessions include first through third trimester patients. Transvaginal scanning on actual patients is included. We do have a phantom for practice but we feel that scanning on live patients provides the most benefit in learning the technique for endovaginal ultrasound. We cover the first trimester exam including CRL measurements, M-mode, uterine position, ovaries and adnexa. The second trimester exam review depends on class demand. Third trimester growth, biophysical, AFI, cervical length, and placenta location are included. Course Objectives: • Recognize basic ultrasound artifacts • Discover common pathology and limitations of ultrasound • Perform a basic non-gravid ultrasound exam • Identify the uterus, ovaries, endometrium and cervix • Identify an intrauterine pregnancy and measure the crown rump length • Acquire an M-mode tracing of the fetal heart • Perform a biophysical profile • Measure the biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur length for growth assessment • Measure the amniotic fluid • Identify the cervix and placental location • Communicate in a culturally-sensitive manner to patients who refuse transvaginal ultrasounds and discuss available alternatives Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Body MRI: Physics, Applications and Future is organized by Stanford Center for Continuing Medical Education and will be held from Oct 04 - 05, 2019 at Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, Monterey, California, United States of America. This Conference has been approved for a maximum of 12.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Target Audience: This program is designed for: • Radiologists • MR Technologists • Fellows and Residents • Allied Health professionals with a focus in radiology. Statement of Need: This course will educate practicing radiologists and MR technologists on the following broad topics: • Physics of MRI • Clinical interpretation of body MRI studies • Latest and upcoming new developments in body MRI and MR physics. Course Description: Stanford Radiology CME is pleased to present Body MRI:  Physics, Applications and Future, in Monterey, California this Fall.  This course will review physical principles from basic MRI to recent advances in coils, acceleration, image contrast and motion correction.  We will describe how these principles are applied to achieve robust, high quality images.  Attendees will learn how to perform and interpret body MRI exams for indications such as renal tumors, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases and more.   Through lectures, question-and-answer sessions, and engaging panel discussions and debates, participants will be better able to optimize image interpretation, discuss controversial topics, and enhance interactions with clinician colleagues. Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to: • Develop new strategies to correctly interpret common body MRI exams • Review the underlying principles of MR physics • Recognize image quality issues and execute strategies to correct them • Communicate image protocol decisions with colleagues to improve team efficiency  

30th Annual UC Davis Anesthesiology Update is organized by UC Davis Health and will be held from Nov 01 - 03, 2019 at Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, Monterey, California, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 19.25 Credits. Educational Objectives: By the end of this conference the attendee will be able to: • Discuss the incidence and factors contributing to perioperative brain dysfunction. • Discuss the causes of cognitive impairment, how to recognize it early and how to measure the extent. • Discuss anesthetic techniques/strategies to reduce perioperative cognitive dysfunction. • Summarize potential benefits of regional anesthesia with respect to pediatric neurotoxicity. • Understand the various forms of preoperative stress tests available today. • Understand the evidence of red blood cells transfusion indications and the risks versus benefits of transfusions. • Discuss key barriers to Patient Blood Management and strategies to overcome them. • Differentiate between methods of analysis of genomic information with regard to pain. • Review recent evidence for truncal blocks for acute pain control after surgery. • Explain the rationale for the use of perineural adjuncts in ameliorating rebound pain, and prolonging analgesia. • Describe the history of controlled substances (opioids) and implication of current regulations. • Demonstrate evidence-based diagnostic and procedural ultrasound applications of relevance to anesthesiologists. • Demonstrate the ability to perform ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks on the upper and lower extremities and trunk.
