PROGRAM PURPOSE

I selected a series of topics that are common in Emergency Medicine. I will present how to diagnose and manage them appropriately. I will clarify when to work up and when to refer to the specialist. This would enable the practitioner to utilize the resources of the hospital or clinic wisely. The Physician or the Advance Practice Provider that attends the course will be able to navigate this conditions with expertise and will facilitate a smooth transition of care.

Knowing that not all attendees will be Emergency Physicians, I selected topics that are common and general in nature, for easy understanding, but with severe complications if left untreated or if they go unrecognized by the practitioner. This information will be relevant to all attendees.

Topics:
  1. BRUE (Brief Resolved Unexplained Event)
    • Define and classify low risk BRUE
  2. Foreign Body Aspiration
    • List different types of FB aspiration and how to manage them
  3. Foreign Body Ingestion
    • List different types of FB ingestions and how to manage them
  4. Hyperemesis Gravidarum
    • Explain how to treat this common condition with home remedies and hospital interventions
  5. Pediatric Abdominal Non-Traumatic Emergencies
    • Identify many surgical emergencies in Pediatric patients, how to properly diagnose and treat them
  6. Orthopedic Pitfalls Upper Extremities
    • Recognize this orthopedic emergencies, how to interpret the x-rays and how to manage them
  7. Orthopedic Pitfalls Lower Extremity
    • Recognize this orthopedic emergencies, how to interpret the x-rays and how to manage them

PORTS OF CALL

Galveston, TX - Galveston is famous for its seafood, tropical scenery and breathtaking Victorian architecture. This magnificent island also boasts of 32 miles of beautiful beaches and great sportfishing.

At Sea - Cruising - Cruising

Costa Maya, Mexico - Exploring the dense tropical vegetation and wide sandy bays of the Costa Maya, it's easy to imagine the days when sacrifice and slavery, rite and ritual were rampant in the Mayan culture. Even today, the countless ruins of temple walls, stairs and secret pathways exude magic and mystery. And when your archaeology lesson is complete, glorious stretches of coral sand may inspire you to build your own empire-of sand castles, of course!

Cozumel, Mexico - With its lively tropical reefs, crystal-clear waters and ancient ruins, Cozumel is ripe for one-of-a-kind adventures. Cruise to Cozumel and head to Chankanaab National Park, where you can snorkel among the colorful reefs and schools of tropical fish that give this island its premier diving status. Or travel back in time on an adventure through the towering Maya ruins of Tulum. When you’re done exploring, unwind with a beachside massage at Playa Mia. From culture savoring to soaking up sunshine, you’ll find a world of adventure waiting for you in Cozumel.
