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

  • Pharmacology
  • 15.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 15.00 ANCC
  • 15.00 ASWB

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

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.

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.
