Location

New Orleans, Louisiana

The historic French Quarter, the elegant Garden District, lively music, and sights of Bourbon and Frenchmen Street--the thoroughfares of New Orleans are absolutely brimming with charm. The City that Care Forgot is full of incredible musicians, eateries, historical attractions, and more.

From Jazz and Blues to Country and even Rock'n'Roll, you'll be tempted inside any number of restaurants, lounges, and clubs. Cozy up to the bar and enjoy a beverage with dinner. Creole, Cajun, and other Southern culinary favorites are a specialty in this town. Tuck in for a po' boy sandwich, a steaming dish of gumbo, étouffée, or jambalaya. Finer fare options include swordfish steaks, lobster, scallops, or blackened barracuda. For dessert, grab some fresh beignets to go at the famed Café du Monde.

Learn about New Orleans' unique history when you sign up for a variety of historic tours. Walk the peaceful aboveground cemeteries to view ornate tombs and gravestones, some dating back to the late 1700s.  If architecture strikes your fancy, Southern Louisiana is well-known for its historical homes. Down on the riverfront, you can indulge your romantic side with lunch and scenic city views from the water aboard a real 19th-century paddlewheel steamboat tour.

Families will enjoy The Audubon Zoo and Aquarium of the Americas with exhibits including an exotic mix of animals from around the globe, engaging educational programs, hands-on animal encounters, and lush gardens. Get up close and personal with Amur leopards, tigers, orangutans, and alligators. Touch a sting ray, feed a parakeet, and marvel at gigantic sharks and rays in the 400,000-gallon Gulf of Mexico Exhibit. Souvenirs are a must when you visit six-mile-long Magazine Street. Here, the centuries-old cottages trimmed in Victorian millwork offer collections of local and regional art, crafts, specialized clothing, decor, and the best boutiques to be found anywhere in the city. Shop 'til you drop at Riverwalk Mall, hosting over 220 stores. Upscale shopping can be found at Canal Place, home of Saks Fifth Avenue, Brooks Brothers, Gucci, and more.

Accommodations

The Windsor Court

Located in the heart of downtown New Orleans, The Windsor Court is ideally set just two blocks from the historic French Quarter, two blocks from the bustling Mississippi riverfront and adjacent to the exciting Warehouse District. Guests are greeted with an extraordinary arrival experience - a lush, green courtyard and Saint George sculpture fountain welcome you to this little oasis in the middle of downtown. Enjoy being close enough to access the exciting nightlife of the Quarter, but far enough to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Windsor Court is unlike any other in the city, with friendly, world-class service, museum-quality art and gracious interiors more commonly found in the grand houses of England.

Begin your journey towards heightened levels of relaxation and well-being in The Windsor Court Spa, featuring saunas, steam rooms, and luxurious relaxation areas. Soak up the sun at the heated outdoor pool and sun deck area, or stay on track at the state-of-the-art fitness center.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for 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 anesthesia specialty or are impacted by it.

Program Purpose

This continuing education program is designed for anesthesia providers seeking to enhance their clinical skills and knowledge in the field. The program aims to provide attendees with the latest updates, innovations, and practical techniques to advance their anesthesia practice. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and discussion with faculty/peers, participants will gain valuable insights and skills to help in the provision of safe, effective anesthesia care. 

Objectives

  • Improve knowledge, competence, and utilization of the most recent evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
  • Bolster competence in the management of patients with complex co-morbidities and less common medical conditions, thereby improving patient outcomes and safety.
  • Improve skills/strategies in the use of newer equipment/technologies and improve performance within multidisciplinary protocols in order to optimize patient outcomes.
  • Increase knowledge of newer pharmacologic agents, thereby improving competence in medication management via anticipation of potential polypharmacy interactions.
  • Improve knowledge and competence in the timely recognition and management of complications during the perioperative period. By enhancing competence, patient outcomes improve by reducing complications.
  • Enhance recognition and coping strategies to mitigate the effects of workplace stressors and burnout and achieve well-being in the clinical setting.
