The prevalence of anxiety within the pediatric population has increased over the past decade, and primary care pediatricians (PCPs) are often called on to manage and treat child and adolescent anxiety. This activity will discuss anxiety in the pediatric population, off-label use of medications for anxiety, and the “black box warning,” which warns the public of serious, permanent, and possibly fatal side effects caused by that medication. A treatment plan for a medication-naïve and a refractory, or treatment-resistant, patient with anxiety will also be highlighted.

People at risk of suicide are often seen in health care settings, and health care organizations have a unique opportunity to identify and facilitate suicide prevention. Although there are long-standing clinical best practices, gaps still exist. Suicide Risk Formulation (SRF) is a process by which a clinician forms a judgment about a patient’s foreseeable risk of suicidal behavior based on data collected from a Suicide Risk Assessment (SRA). Risk formulation may indicate that enhanced interventions and increased support may be needed. Treatment should focus on reducing the immediate suicide risk and exploring any underlying mental-health and/or substance-use disorder. This activity is designed to support health care professionals through risk-mitigation situations by providing an advanced continuing education opportunity to improve practice, skills and knowledge.

This activity will explore updated approaches to the management of glaucoma—the “silent thief of sight” that affects an estimated 3 million Americans. It will examine the latest evidence from recent studies on minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures and discuss comparative data on more invasive surgical techniques such as trabeculectomy and tube shunt surgery. Patient cases will be introduced to enhance participants’ understanding of the glaucoma treatment process. In addition, potential future innovations in glaucoma treatment will be discussed.
