How are you coping?\nLet’s consider where we need to focus our advocacy efforts. \nOrganized by the AMWA Fertility Executive Committee in partnership with Doctor’s For America URL:https://amwa-doc.org/event/al-repro-care-session/ CATEGORIES:Everyone END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240422T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240422T213000 DTSTAMP:20251030T013334Z CREATED:20251030T013334Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251030T013334Z UID:15619-1713787200-1713821400@amwa-doc.org SUMMARY:#EndGunViolence Lobby Session DESCRIPTION:Register for Lunch & Lobby Sessions  Register for After Hours Lobby Session \nMondays – April 1\, 15\, 22\, 29\n#EndGunViolence Lunch & Lobby Sessions: 12 – 2 pm ET                #EndGunViolence After Hours Lobby Sessions: 8 – 9:30 pm ET \n          \nLearn more about the Newtown Action Alliance URL:https://amwa-doc.org/event/endgunviolence-lobby-session-7/ CATEGORIES:Everyone END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240417T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240417T220000 DTSTAMP:20251030T013326Z CREATED:20251030T013326Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251030T013326Z UID:15618-1713387600-1713391200@amwa-doc.org SUMMARY:IMG Webinar: Study Lecture DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 17th at 9pm ET\nStudy Lecture with Dr. Austin Price\nREGISTER URL:https://amwa-doc.org/event/img-webinar-study-lecture/ CATEGORIES:Pre-Medical,Residents,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240415T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240415T210000 DTSTAMP:20251030T013320Z CREATED:20251030T013320Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251030T013320Z UID:15617-1713211200-1713214800@amwa-doc.org SUMMARY:Literary Writing Group DESCRIPTION:AMWA Literary Committee presents:\nAMWA Literary Writing Group\nMonthly on the Third Monday @ 8pm ET\n \nJoin us for a shared time for writing and a virtual space for camaraderie and accountability.\nOne month per quarter a facilitator will join to host a writing workshop.\nAll are welcome!  \nJOIN GROUP \nInterested in becoming involved in the AMWA Literary Committee?

In fact\, an estimated 75% of adults 50-64 years take up to 13 drugs daily\, and the number of adults who require multiple medications rises to 87% among adults 65-79 years of age who are at an elevated risk for hospitalization and death following infection with COVID-19. \nAdverse effects in patients who take multiple medications occur with greater frequency as individuals rise in age due to adverse drug effects\, inappropriate treatment\, nonadherence\, and drug interactions. Older people are more than twice as susceptible to the side effects of drugs as younger individuals and almost 90% of seniors take multiple medications to manage chronic diseases. \nSince the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, the treatment armamentarium has continued to expand to improve patient outcomes. Antivirals used in the outpatient setting reduce mortality and hospitalization rates\, especially in high-risk patients. Although the duration of antiviral therapy for COVID-19 is short\, an important consideration for clinicians is to be aware of and adequately versed in known drug-drug interactions that can result in serious harm or reduced efficacy in COVID management or pose a known medical concern for medicines prescribed for ongoing management of chronic diseases. \nAddressing Management of Patients with COVID and Pre-Existing Conditions\nIn order to assure that patients are able to respond optimally to treatments aimed to lessen symptoms and improve outcomes for individuals infected with the coronavirus\, and at the same time to avoid adverse effects related to drugs taken daily by patients to manage chronic diseases\, clinicians must be made aware of common drug-drug interactions and know about the clinical adjustments necessary to advise their patients. \nClinicians should be aware of key resources to manage and mitigate drug interactions while on oral antivirals\, including those published by the National Institutes of Health and the Infectious Diseases Society of America. An important step while assessing eligibility for antivirals is to check the drug-drug interactions. In case of contraindications\, other choices for the treatment of COVID-19 should be considered. With systematic review and education about the significant interactions\, there will be enhanced comfort for clinicians in prescribing these effective antivirals in a safe manner for patients who will benefit from their use. \n*NOTE: Since the time that this presentation was recorded\, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir is now FDA approved. \nLearning Objectives:\nAfter this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe risk factors for clinically relevant drug-drug interactions while on oral antivirals to treat COVID-19.\nList the major types of drug-drug interactions between oral antivirals\, ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir (Paxlovid) and molnupiravir\, and select classes of medications.\nOutline specific strategies to mitigate risks of drug-drug interactions when prescribing oral antivirals to treat COVID-19.\nOutline the various resources available for drug-drug interactions for antivirals used in the ambulatory setting for COVID-19\n\nContinuing Education Information\nAccreditation Statement \nIn support of improving patient care\, this activity has been planned and implemented by Indiana University School of Medicine and AMWA.
