New diagnostic studies, new medications and the incorporation of evidence-based medicine into patient management have changed the way medical diseases are managed. Using case-based scenarios, current guidelines and recommendations for the effective management of surgical patients in the office and the hospital will be discussed.

1. Discuss currently understood guidelines and recommendations for the safe and effective management of surgical patients with significant systemic disease and incorporate evidence-based guidelines into the participant's practice;
2. Discuss evidence-based guidelines for the perioperative care of medical conditions encountered in surgical patients and incorporate new evidence-based medical management guidelines into the management of patients undergoing office-based or hospital surgery; and
3. Describe new medications being used to manage common medical conditions including coronary vessel disease, hypertension, diabetes, bleeding problems, immune system deficiencies and patients receiving psychotropic medications.
