Mayo Clinic in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic Foundation bring this unique educational opportunity. The specific combination of workshops entails a sequence of up-to-date educational tools used to acquire skills that the anesthesiology practice demands. This course will take place in one of the most modern simulation centers in the United States. Simulation will be incorporated into each workshop. The methodology will include a pre-test, followed by didactic presentations with case-based scenarios, and a post-test assessment. The most important clinical management questions will be addressed in highly interactive sessions.

Mayo Clinic and Essentia Health have gathered a world-class lineup of experts to continue the collaboration of employers and medicine to take care of our injured and ill workforce. Together, we can prevent needless work disability by helping people stay employed. Objectives of this course include explaining the impact the physician has on preventing needless work disability; establishing how improved communication among the health care provider, employer and employee contributes to optimal handling of injured or ill employees; assessing the negative impact that poor handling of the return-to-work process has on patients and the economy at large; and demonstrating insight and ideas to help prevent needless work disability in the future; explaining the physician’s role in defining appropriate disability-management criteria for injured or ill employees by creating a common language and understanding among business owners, human resource personnel, managers and supervisors, and medical professionals. We can interact, share ideas and move forward in the process of change that will lead to a reduction in needless disability in our workforce.

This advanced course is designed to provide the clinician and advanced sonographer with an update on transthoracic, stress, and transesophageal echocardiography as well as cardiac CT and MRI. It is not a "how-to" course, but instead will concentrate on the application of these modalities to clinical decision making. The program consists primarily of clinical cases which illustrate the problems cardiovascular specialists commonly encounter. Multiple choice questions addressing the clinical utility and limitations of echocardiography follow each case. In addition, faculty presents “rapid fire” and “unknown” cases. The audience is also encouraged to bring unknown cases which will be shown during the sessions. Special breakout sessions are devoted to the interpretation of Doppler hemodynamics, diastolic function, stress echocardiography, congenital heart disease, interventional and perioperative echocardiography. This course is designed to encourage maximum audience participation and interaction with the faculty.

Echo Fiesta is designed to provide a practical review of the current uses and limitations of two-dimensional echocardiography, Doppler and color flow imaging in the assessment of adult myocardial, ischemic, pericardial and valvular disease. Traditional topics in the field of echocardiography including the assessment of systolic and diastolic function, quantitative Doppler, and stress echocardiography will be presented. In addition, newer techniques including 3D Echo and Doppler and 2D strain imaging will be presented. The program will concentrate on practical points regarding daily use of these techniques with illustrative examples from a wide variety of cardiovascular disorders.
