Ultrasonography
Overview
April 30-May 2, 2010
Hyatt Regency Austin
Austin, TX
Critical Training in Critical Care
Plan now to attend this intensive course for intensive care, emphasizing hands-on skill-building opportunities and detailing the three critical components of ultrasonography.
- Knowledge base will be increased through lectures that focus on important uses of critical care ultrasonography.
- Image interpretation will be facilitated in group sessions under the supervision of a single faculty member. A large number of ultrasound images demonstrating normal and pathologic findings will be used to give you a comprehensive learning opportunity. As you gain skill, the format will become more challenging, with unknown cases to test your skills.
- Image acquisition will be practiced during hands-on, small-group workshops. Practice skills using high-quality ultrasound technology on live patient models, supervised by experienced faculty to guide and maximize your training.
Objectives
- Understand the knowledge base required to perform critical care ultrasonography.
- Interpret image cases.
- Incorporate interpretation skills required for critical care ultrasonography.
- Demonstrate appropriate image acquisition techniques required for critical care ultrasonography.
- List appropriate uses of ultrasonography in pulmonary and critical care practices.
Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for intensivists interested in developing proficiency in the field. The course will emphasize hands-on training for those wishing to gain a thorough understanding of how to use ultrasonography to improve patient care. Specifically, the course is designed for:
Physicians in critical care
Physicians in ED medicine
Pulmonary and critical care fellows
Physician assistants
Advanced critical care nurse practitioners

CME
Accreditation Statement
he ACCP is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
CME Hours by ACCP
The ACCP designates this educational activity for a maximum of 22.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
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 on-site during all educational activities.
ACCP Learning Categories
CCP Learning Categories organize education activities based on how education is delivered to promote a wider variety of educational methods. The sessions presented during Celebration of Pediatric Pulmonology 2009 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.
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 subcategorized as MOL: Scope of Critical Care Education.
ACCP Education Mission
To develop educational delivery systems for chest, critical care, and sleep physicians that facilitate lifelong learning and optimize clinical care.
