53 Medical
Professionals – who came from as far away as the Philippines – have
successfully completed an intensive 5-day “Introduction to Hyperbaric Medicine”
course at the LST Partner facility, Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola,
NY. Core Faculty include: Glenn J. Butler, CEO, Michael Allen, Edward
Golembe,, M.D., Scott Gorenstein, M.D., Donna Hangan, CHRN, and Bernie
Chowdhury, CHT, all of whom are Hyperbaric Board certified.
LST has
sponsored this course since 1993. It is
held, on average, 4 times per calendar year in LST Partner Hospitals and
Medical Centers in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut area. The LST course meets the new CMS-mandated
educational guidelines for hyperbaric education; it provides the foundation for
Physicians, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Paramedics, Emergency Medical
Technicians, Hyperbaric Technicians, and other clinical professional who are
either working in, or planning to enter, the field of Hyperbaric Medicine. The course is a pathway toward achieving
professional certification in this growing field.
The Undersea
& Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) is the primary source of scientific
information for diving and hyperbaric medicine physiology worldwide and
functions as the governing body for the industry. Organizations that present UHMS approved
courses are rigorously screened and must adhere to strict guidelines and
standards. Course content, syllabus, and
training materials are evaluated and must be approved for each course.
The first LST
course was developed by the late Eric P. Kindwall, M.D., author of several
prominent books that continue to be used for medical training. Considered by many to be the “Father of
Hyperbaric Medicine,” Dr. Kindwall was the developer and Director of courses
presented by LST until 2008. Dr.
Kindwall’s contributions to LST and to its educational programs are
considerable.
Physicians
who attend the entire course receive 42 CMEs (Continuing Medical Education)
credits from the UHMS.
