Stanford Center for Continuing Medical Education, SonoDoc: Case-based Learning in Bedside Ultrasound, 12/7/2018 12:00:00 AM - 1/1/2024 12:00:00 AM, Internet Enduring Material Sponsored by the Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by the Department of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.The American Medical Association has recognized the utility of ultrasound; it recommends training and education standards are developed by each physician’s respective specialty. It has been proven that bedside ultrasound allows the treating physician to more quickly determine the cause of urgent conditions and life-threatening illness and help in guiding resuscitative efforts for patients in shock. If invasive procedures must be performed, they can be done under ultrasound guidance (instead of using blind landmark techniques), decreasing the risk of complications. This has been recommended by the agency for healthcare research and quality as a key intervention. Emergency medicine was an early adopter of bedside focused ultrasound due to the need for rapid evaluation of critically ill patients and patients in acute pain. Now, other specialty organizations, including critical care, surgery, internal medicine, OB-GYN, and pediatrics are starting to include ultrasound during residency training. Many currently practicing physicians were trained before ultrasound training was available and may not realize its utility in their practice. This game-based course will provide strategies on how to use bedside focused ultrasound, image interpretation, and integrate it in the clinical practice.Intended AudienceThis course is designed for physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners who specialize in family practice, primary care, general surgery, internal medicine, critical care and emergency medicine.

Welcome to Reducing Physician Burnout, a seven-part audio training series. Program Release: August 6, 2022 Expiration Date: August 6, 2023 There are no prerequisites for participation. Overview “The secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient.” –Francis Peabody Burnout is reaching epidemic levels for healthcare providers. Clinicians are taught that empathizing with their patients, yet this can lead to empathy fatigue, and the development of habits that are self-protective against burnout, yet can be a Catch-22 with regard to connecting with patients and building a relationship that makes patients feel cared for. This short training, comprised of seven brief audio lessons, will teach clinicians how to be with and hold patients’ suffering without being consumed by it. It will also help clinicians identify and work with reactions in patient encounters (e.g. frustration, anger, etc.) as well as habits that contribute to burnout (e.g. not being able to stop thinking about a problem, worrying about patients, taking work home etc.). The training will also provide clinicians with simple, pragmatic, on-the-go skills and practices that can be employed both in clinical settings and at home to improve resilience and wellbeing. Specific topics include: how to be with pain/suffering without being consumed or overly reacting to it, working with frustration, anger, hopelessness in difficult patient interactions, working with intrusive/distracting thoughts, working with self-judgment, developing curiosity to improve diagnostic skills, and diagnosing and treating pain.

SPEAKERS Patrick McGann, MD, MS Associate Professor of Medicine Associate Professor of Pediatrics Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University Director, Pediatric and Adult Sickle Cell & Hemoglobinopathy Program Rhode Island Hospital & Hasbro Children's Hospital Providence, Rhode Island Taneisha Wilson, MD, ScM (Course Chair) Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University Attending Physician, The Miriam Hospital and Rhode Island Hospital Brown Physicians, Inc. Providence, Rhode Island Overview Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common genetic hematologic diseases in the world affecting an estimated 100,000 Americans and millions of people across the globe. This educational event will address the acute care of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) by identifying some emergent presentations as well as highlighting some of the barriers to care patients with SCD may face. These barriers primarily include skepticism and bias which can lead to missed or undertreated devastating sequelae. Patients can also sometimes face challenges accessing, establishing, and maintaining care with physicians. An understanding of the impact of these challenges and the potential harmful outcomes may lead to a decrease in their incidence.
