Description:
Annual societal meeting which provides education and research presentations for thoracic anesthesiologists.
Educational Information
Physician Practice Gap:
A gap in physician performance in thoracic procedures, lung ultrasound, regional anesthesia and knowledge base in thoracic anesthesiology will be addressed. This conference addresses several current gaps in thoracic anesthesiology: communication and teamwork in the thoracic surgical workplace, professional advancement of anesthesiologists into leadership positions and in academia, advanced procedures and point of care ultrasound technique, and up to date clinical information and best practices in thoracic anesthesiology practice.
Needs that Underlie the Gap
There is a need to provide clinicians with new approaches, strategies and updated practice guidelines and data to better diagnose and treat patients with thoracic pathologies as well as those undergoing major thoracic surgery. In addition, there is also a need to provide education to clinicians on how to prevent, identify, diagnose and treat a variety of issues and complications associated with the field of thoracic anesthesiology.
DESIGNED to Change/Outcome: Following this activity, learners will develop competence by increasing their knowledge through a combination of hands-on learning, case-based presentations, and online lectures. Knowledge will be assessed with a pre-test and post-test.
The physicians in attendance will be able to deliver a higher quality of care in thoracic anesthesiology and thoracic surgical procedures by reviewing evidence-based material that has been identified as a professional practice gap, by attending workshops to improve hands-on delivery of care, and to improve health care delivery in the thoracic surgical space. Teaching modalities will include panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and problem-based learning discussions.
Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- describe the latest advances and research in thoracic anesthesia.
- identify current trends in clinical and bench research pertinent to the perioperative care of patients undergoing thoracic surgery and incorporate this knowledge into understanding of the science of thoracic medicine.
- evaluate new therapeutic techniques and diagnostic/interventional procedures in thoracic anesthesiology.
- discuss advances in procedures related to thoracic anesthesia including regional anesthesia of the chest wall and point-of-care ultrasound and how to use them to improve outcomes in thoracic surgical patients.
- acquire skills necessary for career progression in thoracic anesthesia.
Satisfactory Completion
Learners must complete an evaluation form to receive a certificate of completion. Partial credit of individual sessions is not available.
