80062424 - Perioperative Management-In Its 39th Year

Sunday, February 18, 2024, 7:00 AM - Wednesday, February 21, 2024, 2:00 PM, Marco Island Marriott, Marco Island, FL

Over 300 million patients undergo surgical procedures worldwide, and the age and medical complexity of this patient population continues to increase. Higher risk patients are now having surgery in ambulatory settings. All these patients require preoperative assessment, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. Every year the body of peer-reviewed literature on this topic increases and new guidelines on clinical management are formulated. The curriculum for this course was specifically created to address the needs of clinicians who provide care for patients before, during, and after surgery based on examination of the evidence-based peer-reviewed literature, recent research, feedback from course participants, and input from expert colleagues inside and outside Johns Hopkins. As the established leader in perioperative medicine, this course aims to provide practitioners with the most up-to-date knowledge necessary to deliver effective, evidence-based care by affecting healthcare practices at the level of the individual and the larger health system.
