Diabesity: A Call for Urgent Action	Disease management Wellness	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses APA - Psychologists Attendance - General Attendance CDR - Dietitians ASWB - Social Workers		$0.00	Activity description The emergence of diabesity—the occurrence of diabetes and obesity and their combined adverse health effects—as a rapidly growing modern epidemic underscores the urgent need for education around prevention, early detection, adequate management and approaches to reversing this disease.
Health Equity Foundations	Disease management	AAFP - Family Physicians ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses APA - Psychologists Attendance - General Attendance CCMC - General - Case Managers CDR - Dietitians COPE - Optometrists ASWB - Social Workers		$0.00	Health equity is achieved when every person, regardless of race, place, or circumstance, has the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Some of the known barriers are referred to as Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and are determined by the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, play and age. These barriers, driven by structural racism, discrimination and stigma, include poverty, lack of access to quality education, housing, good jobs and comprehensive, high quality health care. Communities that are overwhelmingly impacted by these obstacles are underserved, including communities of color, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, women, and those who live in rural or frontier settings. This activity will define health equity, distinguish between equity, equality, and justice, discuss health equity and inequities, and identify individual strategies to promote health equity.
Diabesity: A Call for Urgent Action	Disease management Wellness	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses APA - Psychologists Attendance - General Attendance CDR - Dietitians ASWB - Social Workers	11/08/2022	$0.00	Activity description The emergence of diabesity—the occurrence of diabetes and obesity and their combined adverse health effects—as a rapidly growing modern epidemic underscores the urgent need for education around prevention, early detection, adequate management and approaches to reversing this disease.
Systemic Mastocytosis: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Updates	Disease management Rare diseases	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses Attendance - General Attendance CCMC - General - Case Managers CDR - Dietitians		$0.00	This activity will review the symptoms and signs of SM, provide an overview of new and current therapies and identify SM guideline updates. The value of an interdisciplinary team–based approach along the continuum of care for affected individuals will also be discussed as a definitive step toward optimizing outcomes.
Health Disparities in Obesity	Health equity Wellness	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses Attendance - General Attendance CDR - Dietitians		$0.00	This activity will review the prevalence of obesity in different populations and its role in the development of chronic disease. It will discuss the effects of bias, discrimination, and health disparities on the development and treatment of obesity. Importantly, it will educate participants about the benefits of a multi-modal collaborative treatment approach to mitigate contributing factors to obesity and address challenges in access to care that can influence obesity-related health outcomes in certain communities.
COVID-19 Vaccination Considerations Along the Transplant Continuum	Covid-19 Transplantation	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses APA - Psychologists Attendance - General Attendance CCMC - General - Case Managers CDR - Dietitians ASWB - Social Workers		$0.00	This activity will review the current recommendations for screening and vaccination in both organ donors and organ recipients and will examine the current rationale and value of measuring COVID-19 antibody titers in light of possible low posttransplant sero-response and humoral response rates. Importantly, the current state of, and future implications for, transplantation in nonvaccinated patients will be discussed.
Precision Medicine: Expanding Opportunities	Disease management Oncology	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses APA - Psychologists Attendance - General Attendance CCMC - General - Case Managers CDR - Dietitians ASWB - Social Workers		$0.00	This activty will discuss how precision medicine is quickly becoming a standard of care in the field of oncology and will explore recent advances in such applications as gene sequencing, molecular diagnostic assays, liquid biopsies and biomarkers. Future applications and innovations in precision medicine tailored to the treatment of specific cancers will also be examined.
Challenges and Considerations in Multi-organ Transplantation	Transplantation	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses APA - Psychologists Attendance - General Attendance CCMC - General - Case Managers CDR - Dietitians ASWB - Social Workers		$0.00	Despite the large increase in the number of multi-organ transplants (MOTs) performed over the past few years, challenges still exist in this arena. Among these unresolved issues are a lack of standardized MOT eligibility criteria across institutions, regions and different organ combinations. Ethical issues have also arisen regarding equity in organ allocation amidst a limited organ supply, as many MOT candidates get priority allocation for nonprimary organs versus individuals requiring that organ as a single transplant; this prioritization may impact optimal recipient and graft survival as well. In this session, learn more about multi-organ allocation and its accompanying challenges, risks, benefits, and expected outcomes, as well as the limitations of MOT for potential recipients.
Posttransplant Diagnostics: Utilizing Biomarkers and Genomics to Optimize Immunosuppression and Reduce Complications	Disease management Transplantation	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses APA - Psychologists Attendance - General Attendance CCMC - General - Case Managers CDR - Dietitians ASWB - Social Workers		$0.00	In this activity, participants will review conventional rejection-monitoring parameters and will identify current and emerging acute-rejection biomarkers. A closer look at data — regarding such biomarkers as donor-derived cell-free DNA, gene expression profiles, mRNA transcripts, immune effector pathway molecules, cell subsets and chemokines — will provide clarity about their predictive accuracy and value in rejection monitoring, as well as their ability to improve outcomes through rapid identification of transplant-organ dysfunction.
Updates on Xenotransplantation and the Artificial Kidney	Disease management Transplantation	ACPE - Pharmacists ACPE - Pharmacy Technicians AMA - Physicians ANCC - Nurses APA - Psychologists Attendance - General Attendance CCMC - General - Case Managers CDR - Dietitians ASWB - Social Workers		$0.00	Join this activity to discuss how technology to treat end-stage kidney failure has advanced in recent years, including a review of clinical trials of portable devices and implantable xenotransplants, and what the future holds for the next phase of investigation into the artificial kidney and xenotransplant.
