Upcoming Medical Conferences in Colorado Springs

7th Annual Maui Derm NP+PA Summer 2019 is organized by Maui Derm and will be held from Jun 19 - 22, 2019 at The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States Of America. The Target Audience for this medical event is Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants who specialize in dermatology. The Summer meeting is part of our “On the Road” program that brings Maui Derm NP+PA to inspired locations throughout the U.S. exclusively for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants who already provide dermatologic healthcare. This four-day meeting will feature a one day “Special Pre-Conference Day” held on June 19, 2019 followed by our three day meeting. The highly interactive sessions are designed to validate your current practice patterns while updating your skills in a variety of areas. Based on last year’s requests, we have added topics such as Skin of Color, Cutaneous Manifestations of Internal Malignancies, and Hair Disorders with world-renowned expert, Dr Jerry Shapiro. You will learn some alternate ways to handle common problems and emerging methods to tackle those tough cases. Our world-class faculty have geared their presentations toward providing pearls you can put to use your first day back at work! Disease pathogenesis, differential diagnoses, therapeutic mechanisms of action, treatment algorithms and outcome measures are incorporated into case based discussions. Ample time for Q&A has been built into the program. The exquisite setting of the Broadmoor Hotel offers a perfect setting for interactions with your colleagues, society leadership and speakers. Mission Statement: To increase Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) knowledge in areas of medical and cosmetic dermatology in order to enable the Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) to provide better care for their patients. Program Rationale: The Dermatology landscape is ever changing. There have been significant advances with regards to the diagnosis, management and treatment of both medical and cosmetic dermatologic conditions. NPs and PAs require targeted education regarding the proper management of these conditions.

Conference Topics on:- • Acne/Rosacea • Pediatric Dermatology • Cutaneous Oncology and Pigmented Lesions • Cutaneous Surgery • Infectious Disease • New Drugs • Cutaneous Immunology • Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis • Nail Disorders • Contact Dermatitis • Practice Enrichment • Literature Review • Connective Tissue Distorders • Challenging Cases • Disorders or Pigmentation • Dermatology Coding & Billing • Dermoscopy • Neuromodulators and Dermal Fillers

Streamlining Your Root Canal Treatments is organized by Ultradent Products, Inc. and will be held on Jun 28, 2019 at Colorado Springs Marriott, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Dentist and Team Members. This CE Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7 CE Credits. Overview: Proper cleaning and shaping of the canal space is a prerequisite for achieving clinical success in endodontics. Studies have shown that the best movement to be applied in endodontic instruments is Roane’s Balanced Force technique. The engine-driven Balanced Force, or asymmetric reciprocating motion, has recently been applied to specifically designed nickel-titanium instruments, reducing the risk of fracture due to the accumulation of metal fatigue, which is the leading limitation of rotary nickel-titanium instruments. Though three times safer than the rotary movement, reciprocation alone has a downside of debris accumulation inside the canal. Objectives: • The benefits and limitations of reciprocation and rotation • The importance of file design and how this aspect can improve the instrumentation results • How to determine the working length electronically • An intuitive 2-file instrumentation technique, taking advantage of the two different kinematics • How to perform a superior cleaning using ultrasonification • The application of MTA repair cement • How to accomplish an effective single-cone obturation technique Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) Course is organized by Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) Education Programs and will be held from Nov 07 - 08, 2019 at St. Francis Medical Center, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 14 Contact hours. Target Audience: The TCAR course offers acute care, critical care, perioperative, 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. Although registered nurses are TCAR's target audience, the information contained in this program has proven 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 : Unlike standardized trauma programs targeted at prehospital and emergency care providers, this course was specifically created to meet the learning needs of INPATIENT trauma nurses. These 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. TCAR Course Content : PART 1 Participants focus on concepts relevant to the nursing care of the injured, hospitalized patient: • The trauma care spectrum • The biomechanics of trauma • The body's response to injury PART 2 Learners participate in interactive, expanding case scenarios that address the needs of hospitalized patients with injuries to major body systems. Each module introduces specific trauma care concepts including pathophysiology, patient assessment, and complications. Surgical, medical, and nursing management options and outcome criteria are introduced while analyzing patients with: • Thoracic injury • Abdominal injury • Musculoskeletal injury • Craniocerebral injury • Spine and spinal cord injury Each interactive expanding case scenario promotes critical thinking, knowledge synthesis, and clinical reasoning skills by inviting learners to: • Incorporate injury biomechanics information • Analyze clinical assessment data • Suggest appropriate care interventions • Identify individuals at risk for deterioration • Prevent, recognize, and manage complications • Understand current trends and issues in trauma patient care • Predict each patient's care trajectory • Set realistic goals and evaluate outcomes Course Objectives: • Describe the trauma continuum of care. • Explain the bio-mechanics of common injuries. • Anticipate specific wounds and complications based on mechanism of injury information. • Discuss the body's multi-system responses to traumatic insults. • Incorporate physical assessment, imaging studies, and laboratory data to evaluate the hospitalized trauma patient. • Describe appropriate medical, surgical, and nursing interventions for frequently encountered injuries. • Interact with interdisciplinary team members to provide timely care to injured patients. • Prevent, identify, and manage complications common to the hospitalized trauma patient. • Identify realistic trauma patient goals and evaluate care outcomes. • Address the psycho-social needs of hospitalized trauma patients and their family members. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
