Upcoming Medical Conferences in Kailua

UCSF Neuro & Musculoskeletal Imaging Update is organized by The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Office of Continuing Medical Education and will be held from Feb 10 - 15, 2019 at Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii, Kailua, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 23.75 CME Credits and 22.5 SAM Credits. Conference Description : This course will present a comprehensive state-of-the-art update on clinically relevant topics in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging, including a discussion of optimized protocols with 1.5T and 3T MR units. Neuroradiology topics to be addressed include routine conditions in pediatric neuroimaging, updated strategies for imaging of the spine and central nervous system, stroke and other neurologic emergencies, and routine head & neck abnormalities. Musculoskeletal imaging will include throwing injuries of the elbow and shoulder, and a thorough review of shoulder and hip imaging, including the use of ultrasound for the hip. Conference Objectives : • Update and improve imaging protocols for brain, head & neck, spine, nerve and musculoskeletal imaging. • Recognize specific imaging features of infection and tumors in the head, neck, spine and peripheral nerves. • Distinguish between normal anatomy, common anatomic variants and pathological disorders related to MRI of the major musculoskeletal joints, brain, head, neck and spine. • Recognize internal derangement appearances of the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and foot. • Implement newer MR sequences such as 3D volumetric imaging and metal suppression techniques. • Understand the parameters of MR arthrographic technique and interpretation of findings. • Sharpen evaluation of muscle and tendon abnormalities, and evaluate various abnormalities that simulate musculoskeletal tumors. • Develop strategies for creating short brain, spine and neck diff erentials. • Understand advances in stroke management and its impact on imaging. • Develop strategies for evaluating common and uncommon abnormalities in the neck and spine. Note : Five half-day morning sessions Sunday thru Friday, with a full day off on Wednesday.  

Anesthesia Update Course is organized by Northwest Anesthesia Seminars (NWAS) and will be held from Jan 24 - 27, 2022 at Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii, Kailua, Hawaii, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is physicians, certified registered nurse anesthetists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and other medical care providers who must maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of the specialty or are impacted by it. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Course Objectives: At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to: • Apply the pertinent physical and behavioral sciences - to include but not be limited to advanced anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and social sciences - as they impact and are affected by the planning, delivery, and monitoring of anesthesia and related services inherent in the anesthesia professions. • Explain the selection, dosing considerations with methods of administration, safe use, and contraindications and precautions of presented pharmacological agents through the understanding of their  physico-chemical  properties, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, updated uses, and more recently developed additional, related, and similar drugs. • Outline comprehensive management plans for the group of patients discussed, whether related in age, physical status, cultural background, invasive procedure, anesthetic or analgesic requirements, clinical setting, adverse reactions, and/or goals of care. • Apply the principles of safety and asepsis in the performance of anesthetic procedures and administrations, equipment use, and other applications encountered during the provision of anesthesia and analgesia whether in the surgical unit, the labor and delivery suite, the pain management clinic, or other more remote location of anesthetizing services. • Incorporate the appropriate recommendations and/or requirements of pertinent external organizations, institutions, and professional groups - recognized as serving as the authority for and/or holding the responsibility to compile and approve such tenets - in the provision of anesthesia and related services, whether medical, legal, philosophical, ethical, or health care management standards. • Apply the new techniques in the clinical setting of the participant. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
