Upcoming Medical Conferences in Jacksonville

Pursuit of a Stress-Free Endodontic Preparation is organized by Ultradent Products, Inc. and will be held on Aug 09, 2019 at Hyatt Regency Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Florida, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Dentists. This CE Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7 CE Credits. Overview: New systems for root canal preparation are being launched every year. This is mainly due to updates by manufacturers who are trying to correct the mistakes from the previous models. With the new understanding of 3D technology for root canal internal anatomy, our mind must change many concepts acquired today. Analyzing the creative conflict between the new system ideas and the 3D anatomical findings, we are able to choose the best option for pursuit of a stress-free endodontic preparation. Objectives: • Comparing technologies of past and present endodontic systems • Learning hybridization technique of mechanized systems • Learning about the troubled "V-Zone".

Learn easy, free ways to find the best evidence to support your treatments, 4 stroke-specific, validated evaluation tools to gauge patient progress and improve reimbursement, and effective treatment strategies. Frequently-seen impairments, and the theory and effectiveness of common treatments and technologies are discussed, including approaches to spasticity, shoulder pain, ambulation, and hemiparesis. Video cases and hands on “breakouts” complement didactic information. The course is hierarchically organized so that knowledge and treatments discussed build on previously-presented information. Expand your treatment and assessment toolbox with this stimulating course!

Pediatric Care After Resuscitation (PCAR) Course is organized by Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) Education Programs and will be held from Dec 02 - 03, 2019 at Wolfson Children's Hospital, Jacksonville, Florida, United States of America. 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.  Accreditation: Continuning Education Hours: Continuing education contact hours are provided through Visionem, a provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP 15483.

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 I• ncorporate 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.
