CME Webcast Teaches on Common Poisonings and Toxidromes.  In this session, learners will review the epidemiology of poisonings across the lifespan, with an emphasis on recent trends. We will introduce a practical framework for evaluating the poisoned patient and review common toxidromes relevant to clinical practice. Participants will develop their skills in recognizing key signs of toxicity to initiate timely, evidence-based management.

Today’s toxicological landscape reflects our modern world and while natural toxins persist, synthetic drugs, household chemicals, and pharmaceutical overdoses dominate emergency department presentations.

For this program on common poisonings and toxidromes, we’ve invited an Emergency Medicine expert. Dr Christopher Gaw is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Emergency at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. In addition to his clinical work, he is also an injury prevention researcher with expertise in toxicology and public health.

What you’ll learn on this webcast

As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to:

  • Describe the epidemiology of poisonings over the lifespan
  • Review and apply a clinical framework with which to approach the poisoned patient

CME Webcast Teaches on Transitioning from Pediatric to Adult Care

by

CME Webcast Teaches on Transitioning from Pediatric to Adult Care. This webcast will discuss Transitioning from Pediatric to Adult Care. The transition from pediatric to adult health care is a complex process, particularly for adolescents and young adults with chronic health conditions and intellectual and developmental disabilities. In this presentation, learners will expand their understanding of the transition process, with particular attention on the roles of doctors caring for young adults in the transition process and get an introduction to skills and resources that can support young adults as they enter adult health care.

By the mid-20th century, medical advances have led to improved survival rates for conditions that we once considered fatal in childhood, such as cystic fibrosis and congenital heart disease. As a result, the need for structured transition programs between pediatric care to adult care has become increasingly evident. Organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians and more have all emphasized the importance of transition planning to ensure continued, high-quality care. So, what does this mean for us in practice? How can we support our patients through this transition? To help us understand why transition of care is so critical and answer these questions and more, we’ve invited Dr Laura Hart. Dr Hart is a clinician-researcher at Nationwide Children’s Hospital where she practices Med-Peds primary care and researches the transition from pediatric to adult centered care.

What you’ll learn in this webcast

As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to:

  • Understand the role of doctors for adults in the transition process
  • Review recommended strategies for providing developmentally appropriate care to young adults

You’ll also learn about the following:

  • Pediatric Role
  • Age of Transition
  • Transitioning PCPs
  • Specialist Care
