Upcoming Medical Conferences in Greeley

Beckman Oral Motor Oro-Facial Deep Tissue Workshop is organized by Beckman Oral Motor and will be held on Mar 06, 2019 at Centennial BOCES Administration Office, Greeley, Colorado, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Licensed speech pathologists and occupational therapists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 0.75 CEUs. Course Description : This is a one day course. Organizations that host or sponsor the Beckman Oral Motor Assessment & Intervention course may also schedule this course for presentation the following day. Beckman Oral Motor Assessment & Intervention is a pre-requisite to the Beckman Oro-facial Deep Tissue Release course. Sixteen (16) is the maximum number of participants for this course. During this course, participants will practice specific deep tissue release for the upper and lower lips, upper and lower cheeks, midface, jaw, and tongue. These interventions focus on increased range of movement for these structures. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to review techniques about which they have questions from the two-day course. Participants are invited to bring videotaped case studies for discussion and problem-solving. This presentation will focus exclusively on the Beckman Oro-facial Deep Tissue Release and will not include information on other similar or related services. Course Objectives are : • Demonstrate intervention options for mobility of the lips, cheeks, midface, jaw and tongue using deep tissue releases. • Problem solve issues regarding client specific oral motor and mealtime concerns. • Demonstrate oral motor assessment and intervention techniques as determined by the participants Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Beckman Oral Motor Assessment & Intervention Workshop is organized by Beckman Oral Motor and will be held from Mar 07 - 08, 2019 at Centennial BOCES Administration Office, Greeley, Colorado, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Licensed speech pathologists and occupational therapists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 16 contact hours or 1.6 CEUs. CME :  This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.6 ASHA/AOTA CEU. Course Description : This is a two-day, hands-on intensive workshop. Participants will learn compensatory hands-on techniques for tonic bite, slow oral transit, tongue thrust, and gag. The participants will practice over 50 specific intervention strategies for improving facial muscle function for eating and speech. Additional topics of discussion may include: goal writing, diet texture progression, tube to oral issues, adaptive mealtime utensils, oral hygiene issues, medication administration issues, oral function for individuals with trachs, facilitating improved articulation through oral motor techniques, research issues, videofluroscopy issues for motorically involved individuals, and additional topics of importance as determined by the participant.  In this two day course participants will actively participate in hands-on practice for compensatory handling techniques for the following concerns: tonic bite, tonic bite on a utensil, slow oral transit, tongue thrust, cough, gag and vomit. The participants will complete an oral motor protocol with each other, analyze the results, and discuss data tracking. The participants will also complete hands-on practice for specific oral motor interventions to address the deficit areas discovered during baseline assessment. Course Objectives are : • Demonstrate assessment battery for determining orofacial movement patterns using the Beckman protocol. • Demonstrate compensatory handling techniques. • Demonstrate oral motor interventions and treatment techniques. • Recognize how to screen for potential referral candidates. • Identify the results of the techniques discussed. 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 Sep 26 - 27, 2019 at North Colorado Medical Center, Greeley, 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 biomechanics of common injuries. • Anticipate specific wounds and complications based  on a 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.
