A Tale of Two Patients - A Pharmacist's Role in the Treatment of HIV - FL Approved
Live Webcast CE 1 Contact Hour(s) $30.00
CDC estimates that more than one million people are living with HIV in the United States.  One in five of those people living with HIV is unaware of their infection.  Despite increases in the total number of people living with HIV in the US in recent years, the annual number of new HIV infections has remained relatively stable.  However, new infections continue at far too high a level, with an estimated 56,300 Americans becoming infected with HIV each year.  More than 18,000 people with AIDS still die each year in the US.  This knowledge based program will educate pharmacists in HIV treatment principles and current guidelines for use of antiretroviral therapy and offer insights into how pharmacists can make a difference in treatment outcomes.  This program is Florida BOP approved for HIV.

Adult Immunization Update: What Pharmacists Need to Know
Live Webcast CE 1.25 Contact Hour(s) FREE
Vaccinations are one of the few interventions that has been shown to reduce overall healthcare costs.  As more vaccines come onto the market, so does the controversy over the use and need for these new products.  As pharmacists continue to grow as primary immunizers, it is more important than ever to know why vaccinations make sense for patients in certain demographics.  Pharmacists also need to be able to address the concerns of their adult patients.  This presentation will review the pros and cons of adult vaccinations and assist the pharmacist in being an advocate of vaccinations for specific patients.

Applying Recent FDA Safety Warnings into Your Everyday Practice
Live Webcast CE 1 Contact Hour(s) $30.00

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes drug safety communications on a frequent basis and in 2011, over 50 drug safety communications have been issued. It can be difficult for pharmacists to stay up-to-date with these communications and determine which communications should result in changes in practice. This evidence-based, patient case presentation will review several drug safety communications that effect everyday practice. The risks and benefits for patients taking simvastatin, varenicline, celexa, pioglitazone, drosperinone, bisphosphonates, and other medications will be discussed. The participant will be able to determine the significance of various safety warnings and develop appropriate therapeutic options for patients impacted by these FDA safety communications.

Attention Deficit Without Hyperactivity: ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type
Live Webcast CE 1 Contact Hour(s) $30.00
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is a syndrome of behaviors characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.  ADHD affects approximately 10% of the childhood population and it is estimated that somewhere between 10 and 60% of childhood ADHD cases will persist into adulthood.  Even though the exact cause or causes of ADHD are unknown, it is known that ADHD is a neural-chemical problem that effects the management systems, or executive functions, of the brain.  While the stereotypical child with ADHD exhibits many hyperactive and impulsive behaviors, there are actually three subtypes of ADHD:  predominantly inattentive type, hyperactive-impulsive type, and combination type.  Boys are at least two times as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls, but girls are more likely than boys to have inattentive type ADHD.  These school-aged girls are often not diagnosed because they sit quietly in their seats and do not pose a discipline problem in the classroom.  This program will define ADHD and its subtypes, discuss possible causes, review the structures of the brain thought to be affected in ADHD, define executive function, and discuss current treatment options.  An emphasis will be placed on presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of girls with inattentive-type ADHD.

Autism Update
