Upcoming Medical Conferences in San Jose

The Upward Spiral: Evidence-Based Neuroscience Techniques for Rewiring the Pathways of Anxiety, Depression and Related Disorders is organized by PESI HealthCare and will be held on Dec 13, 2019 at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Jose, San Jose, California, United States of America. This Course has been approved for a maximum of 6.25 clock hours of continuing education/ 6.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s). Target Audience: • Psychologists • Social Workers • Licensed Counselors • Marriage and Family Therapists • Nurses • Nurse Practitioners • Psychotherapists • Addiction Counselors • Occupational Therapists Course Description: Early in my career, I recognized a disconnect between neuroscience research and popular treatment strategies. While depression and anxiety are clearly rooted in altered brain function, most clinicians were not taught about specific neural circuits and neurotransmitters that contribute to these disorders. As a result, treatment plans for mood and anxiety disorders were often incomplete – many solutions uncovered by research were overlooked and strategies relied heavily on medication without any changes in a client’s action, activity and environment. There had to be a better way to treat these clients and improve outcomes! Today, I know that using proven cognitive-behavioral interventions like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Behavioral Activation Therapy (BAT) in conjunction with exercise, social support and positive habits yields powerful therapeutic effects. Expanding your understanding of the connection between biology and mental health provides you with a pragmatic and holistic lens through which you can view your clients and accommodate their different challenges. And, when your clients understand that what feels “wrong” is actually the activity and chemistry of particular brain circuits, it improves treatment buy-in and compliance. Join me for this must attend conference and I will show you how: • The biology of stress, anxiety and depression informs cognitive therapies like ACT, MBCT, and BAT • Information provided by neuroscientific research can improve treatment outcomes • Simple interventions modulate the activity and chemistry of key brain regions • You can effectively teach clients about complicated brain structures and functions Objectives: • Analyze findings from neuroscientific research exploring the connection between key brain regions, neurotransmitters, and mental health. • Communicate how understanding neurobiological processes can help clinicians establish realistic goals with clients and engage them in therapy. • Explore the role of the amygdala in stress and anxiety and communicate how labeling feelings and mindful awareness of emotions can be used to manage symptoms. • Characterize how habits relate to stress and connect this information to cognitive behavioral approaches that intervene in habit loops and reduce stress related symptoms. • Establish how neuroscience informed explanations of mental health disorders can bring objectivity into your discussions with clients and shift the way they feel about their pathology. • Assess the latest scientific research on gratitude and characterize the potential benefits and research limitations found in these studies.

Advanced Cardio Life Support (ACLS) Renewal Course is organized by HeartShare Training Services Inc and will be held on Jan 03, 2020 at Heartshare Training Services Inc, San Jose, California, United States of America. Course Overview: This advanced course highlights the importance of high-performance team dynamics and communication, systems of care, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, immediate post-cardiac arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes. This course presents the skills and didactic information needed to handle a cardiac arrest, events that may lead to a cardiac arrest, and events that follow a cardiac arrest. The core of this course is the evaluation and management of the first 10 minutes of a witnessed, adult, ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest. Other essentials of the course are contained in the 10 core ACLS cases: respiratory arrest, pulseless ventricular / ventricular tachycardia (VF/VT) treated with an AED, VF/VT refractory to initial defibrillation, pulseless electrical activity, asystole, acute coronary syndromes, bradycardia, stable tachycardia, unstable tachycardia, acute ischemic stroke and ROSC. Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
