Embracing the Journey: End of Life and Palliative Care
  • Palliative Care
  • End of Life Care
  • 1.00 AANP Contact Hours
  • 0.75 AANP Pharmacology Contact Hours
  • 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$0.00
All seriously ill patients can benefit from palliative care principles in the primary care setting. This session is designed to offer clinicians the information and skills needed to provide high-quality primary palliative care to patients with serious illness.

Suicide Prevention: Evidence into Practice
  • Suicide
  • 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$0.00
Suicide was declared a public health crisis by the U.S. Surgeon General in 1999. However, suicide rates continued to climb over the past two decades by a staggering 35% (1999-2018). Fortunately, we have seen decreases in the national suicide rates from 2018-2020. The pandemic’s impact on mental health is a major focus of public health concern and while distress and mental health suffering have increased, the suicide rate in the US actually decreased by 3% from 2019 to 2020.
Tick-Borne Diseases
  • 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 1.00 ANCC
$15.00
Vector-borne diseases are spread by arthropods such as ticks, mosquitoes, or fleas. In the U.S., ticks are the number one vector responsible for transmission to humans. These tickborne diseases are challenging to diagnose as they often have non-specific symptoms. Healthcare staff must be knowledgeable about how to prevent, recognize, and treat tickborne illnesses.REL-ACU-0-TBD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Pharmacology
  • 15.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 15.00 ANCC
  • 15.00 ASWB
$105.00
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.
Mental Health Issues Common to Veterans and Their Families
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 2.00 ANCC
  • 2.00 ASWB
$15.00
The effects of deployment to military combat on the individual and the family system are wide-reaching and can be severe. Military personnel may confront numerous potentially traumatizing experiences, including military-specific events and those experienced by civilians. Research suggests the most common traumatic events experienced during active duty are witnessing someone badly injured or killed or unexpectedly seeing a dead body.
Safe and Effective Opioid Prescribing While Managing Acute and Chronic Pain
  • Prescribing: Opioid(s)
  • Pain Management: Acute
  • Pain Management: Chronic
  • 3.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$75.00
Early Detection and Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimers Disease
  • Cognitive Impairment
  • 0.58 AANP Contact Hours
  • 0.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$0.00
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 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.
