Primary care practitioners treat many civilians and veterans of all ages who exhibit symptoms of PTSD, but many lack the necessary knowledge to identify PTSD and perform differential diagnosis. Also necessary is an understanding of the circumstances that can lead to the development of PTSD and appreciation of the emotional and physical needs of that result from different traumas and different time intervals from the exposure. This course will provide the necessary knowledge and skills to appropriately identify and treat patients with acute stress disorder and PTSD.

In the context of a patient case presentation, expert faculty will highlight the stages of Alzheimer disease (AD) and the vital importance of early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). They will discuss screening for MCI and current guidelines and standards of care for establishing a diagnosis of AD. The faculty will also examine the effects of increasingly more accessible neuroimaging and fluid markers on the diagnosis of AD, especially with the recent FDA approvals of anti-amyloid therapies.
HIV/AIDS: Epidemic Update
  • Infectious Diseases
  • 5.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 5.00 ANCC
  • 5.00 Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB)
$35.00
Since the discovery of HIV, scientists have made major inroads in understanding modes of transmission, infectivity, and pathogenicity. Knowledge about the characteristics and behavior of this human retrovirus and its complex mechanisms of immunopathogenesis has helped to develop targeted therapeutic interventions and vaccine strategies. Sophisticated techniques have been and are being developed to diagnose infection, to monitor immune decline, to monitor response to therapy and disease progression, and to accurately detect and diagnose opportunistic diseases.
Moderate Sedation
  • Sedation
  • 5.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$35.00
Changes in the delivery of health care and advances in technology have moved many surgical procedures out of the traditional operating room. As such, physicians in a wide variety of settings are increasingly using moderate sedation/analgesia (often referred to as conscious sedation). Knowledge and skill in managing potential complications of moderate sedation is essential. This course will review the available guidelines for the provision of moderate sedation and considerations for different patient populations, settings, and procedures.
Opioid Safety: Balancing Benefits and Risks
  • 5.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 5.00 ANCC
$35.00
Opioid analgesics are approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate or severe pain. However, individual patients differ greatly in clinical response to different opioid analgesics, and patient populations show widely variable response to the same opioid and dose. These response variations make opioid prescribing challenging. Further, the important role of opioid analgesics is broadly accepted in acute pain, cancer pain, and palliative and end-of-life care, but it is controversial for the management of chronic noncancer pain.

The gender and sexual minority (GSM) population is a diverse group that can be defined as a subculture. It includes homosexual men, lesbian women, bisexual persons, transgender individuals, and those questioning their sexual identity, among others. While assessment of the subculture and identification of culturally competent health promotion strategies have been delayed for many reasons, the health promotion needs of GSM individuals of various ages are appearing with more frequency in professional literature.
