Widespread outbreaks of novel (new) coronavirus infection have occurred in each of the past two decades, and the current outbreak poses the third threat of a severe novel coronavirus epidemic on a global scale. In response to a 13-fold increase in the number of reported cases within the span of two weeks and active cases in more than 100 countries, the WHO reached a decision that the COVID-19 outbreak should be characterized as a pandemic.

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.

End-of-life decisions can be complex and challenging. Health and mental health professionals can help with their expertise, whether it is for the person facing death, their family, surrogate decision makers, or caregiver. It is vital for health and mental health professionals to learn when and how to include end-of-life discussions into their sessions, assist with decision making and planning, and learn the differences between palliative and end-of-life care.

Pain is invisible, and diagnosis depends on patients' reports. These factors contribute to the treatment of pain to be devalued and stigmatized. When issues of culture, race, and ethnicity come into play with pain experiences, it becomes even more complex. Assessing the interaction between how patients construct the meaning and subjective experiences of pain is necessary, rather than simply dealing with only the biomedical causes. Consequently, pain may be universal, but culture influences the creation of meanings, patient experiences, verbal expressions, and coping with pain.

Chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, are the leading drivers of our nation's $4.1 trillion annual healthcare costs. Hospitalizations are a large part of the cost. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, remote patient monitoring (RPM) was emerging as a promising way to improve outcomes for individuals with chronic diseases. This module will look at the benefits for both patients and clinical practice, which patients may benefit most, and ways for the healthcare team to overcome potential barriers in implementing remote patient monitoring within clinical practice.

Hypertension is known as the silent killer because it often does not show noticeable symptoms until it has caused significant damage. Regular and consistent screening is critical! Once identified, the healthcare team helps individuals manage their hypertension through weight and stress management, adhering to low-sodium diets, increasing physical activity, and taking prescribed medications. Current estimates show that only about 1/4 of people with hypertension have their hypertension controlled.

The activity purpose is to improve the knowledge and clinical skills of community primary care providers that treat children and adolescents with mental health. With both a national and Texas shortage of Child & Adolescent Psychiatrists, there is a great need for pediatricians to treat children with mental health. This series seeks to provide education to help those practitioners best identify mental health issues, develop care plans, and treat their patients, as well as how to identify when a referral to a psychiatric provider may be best for patient safety/care.
