Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)

Overview

Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
ACCP Simulation Center for Advanced Clinical Education
August 4-5, 2012
Wheeling, IL

This 2-day course is an excellent learning opportunity for health-care professionals interested in learning endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). The course covers fundamental knowledge needed to learn EBUS, such as basics of ultrasound, mediastinal anatomy, and lung cancer staging guidelines. EBUS-centered topics will be covered extensively, including operating the scope and specialized needles, techniques, yield, and complications. There is a didactic portion and a hands-on session to practice EBUS skills. In a stress-free environment, this course is supervised by faculty members with expertise in the field. This is an excellent opportunity to obtain the knowledge needed to incorporate EBUS into your practice and provide your patients with the best care.

Who Should Attend
Pulmonary and critical care fellows and physicians/intensivists/thoracic surgeons, physician assistants

Prerequisites

No prerequisites are required to take this course.

Objectives

• Differentiate the indications, proper techniques, contraindications, and complications of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS).
• Compare and contrast examples of lung cancer staging cases using EBUS as a guide.

CME

ACCP Education Mission
To promote the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chest diseases through education, communication, and research.

CME Information
CME Hours by ACCP
The ACCP designates this educational activity for a maximum of 11.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

* The CME credit hours listed above are subject to change. Final CME credit hours will be provided on-site.

Accreditation Statement
The ACCP is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Disclosure Statement
The ACCP remains strongly committed to providing the best available evidence-based clinical information to participants of this educational activity and requires an open disclosure of any potential conflict of interest identified by our faculty members. It is not the intent of the ACCP to eliminate all situations of potential conflict of interest, but rather to enable those who are working with the ACCP to recognize situations that may be subject to question by others. All disclosed conflicts of interest are reviewed by the educational activity course director/chair, the Education Committee, or the Conflict of Interest Review Committee to ensure that such situations are properly evaluated and, if necessary, resolved. The ACCP educational standards pertaining to conflict of interest are intended to maintain the professional autonomy of the clinical experts inherent in promoting a balanced presentation of science. Through our review process, all ACCP CME activities are ensured of independent, objective, scientifically balanced presentations of information. Disclosure of any or no relationships will be made available for all educational activities.

ACCP Learning Categories
ACCP Learning Categories organize all ACCP education activities based on how education is delivered to promote a wider variety of educational methods. The sessions presented during Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) are clearly labeled to identify the type of instruction and methodology used, so you can determine how the presentation will meet your learning style and educational goals. ACCP Learning Categories have no predetermined requirements and will automatically be reflected on the ACCP’s online CME certificate. The six learning categories are:

ACCP Learning Category I: Lecture-Based
ACCP Learning Category II: Self-Directed
ACCP Learning Category III: Evidence-Based
ACCP Learning Category IV: Case- and Problem-Based
ACCP Learning Category V: Simulation
ACCP Learning Category VI: Quality Improvement

Maintenance of Licensure
The ACCP Learning Categories are further subcategorized into “Maintenance of Licensure” (MOL) areas. The subcategorization is very helpful for applying CME to state requirements. All of the sessions in this program are classified as MOL: Scope of Practice-Critical Care Education.
