SUMMARY:Managing Drug Interactions When Treating Patients for Covid-19 CME Module
DESCRIPTION:Managing Drug Interactions When Treating Patients for COVID-19\nPhysicians may earn a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™\nREGISTER \nFaculty:\n\nVidya Sundareshan MD MPH\, FAMWA\, Professor and Chief of Infectious Diseases at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine  and Medical Advisor\, Sangamon County Department of Public Health\nVidhya Prakash\, MD\, Professor of Infectious Diseases\, and Chief Medical Officer/Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs and Population Health at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.\n\nFraming the Issue of COVID Care\nMore than 131 million people — 66 percent of all adults in the United States — take prescription medications\, according to a report by the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute. 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. \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. Indiana University School of Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)\, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)\, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)\, to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. \nPhysicians \nIndiana University School of Medicine designates this enduring material activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. \nDisclosure Summary \nIndiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) policy ensures that those who have influenced the content of a CE activity (e.g. planners\, faculty\, authors\, reviewers and others) disclose all financial relationships with any ineligible companies so that IUSM may identify and mitigate any conflicts of interest prior to the activity.

SUMMARY:Try Harder Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Film Screening and Discussion: Engaging Asian American Youth and Their Families in Quality Mental Health Services\nPart I: Documentary Movie Screening “Try Harder!”\nThe kids are stressed out at Lowell High School\, San Francisco’s academic pressure cooker. With a majority Asian American student body\, high-achieving seniors share their dreams and anxieties about getting into a top university. But is college worth the grind? \nPart II: Panel Discussion: Engaging Asian American Youth and Their Families in Quality Mental Health Services\nResearch indicates that Asian American youth have similar community rates of mental health problems in comparison to non-Hispanic White youth in the United States. However\, Asian Americans are among the least to utilize mental health services\, and Asian American youth have a higher level of unmet mental health needs than White youth. For example\, Yeh and colleagues (2003) found that 72% of Asian/Pacific Islander at-risk youth had unmet mental health needs compared to 31% of their Non-Hispanic White counterparts. Please join us in examining the reasons for the lack of engagement in mental health services of Asian American youth and their families and explore strategies to enhance their treatment engagement. \nPanelists: \n\nDebbie Lum\, Director/ Producer of Try Harder!\nDr. Rona Hu\, Stanford CARE Director of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\nKian Mojabi\, A Lowell high school graduate featured in Try Harder!\nCathy Zhao\, Chief Laughing Officer\, Laugh It Out Hub\n\nModerator: \n\nLisa Kim\, Senior Manager\, Media Relations\, Stanford Health Care\, School of Medicine\n\nWhen:  \nMay 10th\, \n5:30 PM to 7 PM PST\, Movie Screening \n7:10 PM-8:10 PM PST\, Panel Discussion \n  \nIn-person Attendees: \nJoin us on the Stanford campus at Hoover Pavilion\, 211 Quarry Road\, Suite 201\, Palo Alto\, CA 94303\, for the movie screening from 5:30 PM to 7 PM and the panel discussion from 7:10 PM to 8 PM. Free parking is available. \nIn-person registration link \nVirtual Attendees: \nYou may view the film between May 8th-10th using the private link sent by email and join us virtually on May 10th at 7:10 PM PST for the live-streaming panel discussion and to ask questions. \nVirtual registration link \nThis event is sponsored by Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education in partnership with Stanford Heath Library\, the American Medical Women’s Association\, and Asian Health Services.

SUMMARY:IMG Book Club and Discussion: Unlocking Your Authentic Self
DESCRIPTION:Join the IMG book club for a discussion of “Unlocking Your Authentic Self: Overcoming Impostor Syndrome\, Enhancing Self-Confidence\, and Banishing Self-Doubt” by Jennifer Hunt\, MD. \nREGISTER \n \nUnlocking Your Authentic Self\n  \nDescription from Dr. Jennifer Hunt: \nThis book is an invitation to step into your powerful self and create the future you might have dreamed of as a little girl. Once you begin to notice and control that negative inner-critic voice\, you’ll be surprised at how the world opens up before you. But\, this book is also a challenge.  I am challenging you to walk out in front and serve as a role model\, sponsor\, and mentor to other women who are coming up behind you. As you begin to assimilate the skills and tools in this book into your everyday life\, I hope you will become comfortably uncomfortable with a newfound feeling of responsibility to lean into leadership. Ultimately\, my dream is that this book helps women to blaze the trail toward eliminating the gender leadership gap in healthcare\, and in every other profession. \nIf you are wondering if this is even possible\, don’t take my word for it. Read the reviews and testimonials of other women who have read the book\, practiced the skills\, and now find themselves doing things they had never dreamed of before. I can’t tell you how many times I hear the words\, “I would have never done this before\, and now I can\, and I do!”\nIn parting\, my wishes for you are that\, through this book\, you will develop a clarity of vision about your own amazing skills and talents\, that you can embrace your own personal empowerment\, and that you will take a well-earned seat at the leadership table and serve as a role model\, mentor\, and sponsor to all the women who are watching and learning from you. \n

SUMMARY:Women Physicians — The Parallels in History
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the Earliest Women Physicians\nIn recognition of Women’s History Month\, AMWA presents a discussion with author\, Janis Robinson Daly\, who celebrates women physicians from the past whose stories resonate strongly even in the present.\nThis letter\, written by 17-year-old\, Anandibai Gopal Joshi in Kolkata\, India\, in 1883\, prompted the author’s journey to give voice to some remarkable women physicians in her debut historical novel—The Unlocked Path\, which touches on sexism & self-doubt in a young woman who pursued an unorthodox career in medicine. \n\nThe determination which has brought me to your country against the combined opposition of my friends and caste ought to go a long way towards helping me to carry out the purpose for which I came\, i.e.\, is to render to my poor suffering countrywomen the true medical aid they so sadly stand in need of and which they would rather die than accept at the hands of a male physician. The voice of humanity is with me\, and I must not fail. My soul is moved to help the many who cannot help themselves. \n\nACCESS RECORDING \nThis recording is now only available on the AMWA Learning Hub for Members-Only Access. Join AMWA to gain access to the Learning Hub. \nInstructions to Access the Video On the Learning Hub: \n\nGo to the Learning Hub\nSign in with your AMWA Member Portal Credentials\nGo to your training-level hub (i.e. Physician Hub\, Resident Hub\, or Student Hub)\nClick “View”\nGo to “Women Physicians- The Parallels in History”\nSelect “View” to watch the video\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the Author:  Inspired by a love of social history\, Janis Robinson Daly traced the lives of her grandparents’ lives\, especially her paternal grandmother who lived from 1879 to 1957. Thinking of the global events she witnessed as a young woman: the dawn of a new century\, a World War\, the Titanic and Lusitania sinkings\, an influenza pandemic\, and ratification of the 19th Amendment. From these events\, Janis formed the initial storyline for Eliza. With a desire to learn more about Elizabeth Peirce Elliott Robinson\, who died before the author’s birth\, she knew that her grandfather was Judge Peirce in Philadelphia and the family hailed from the city’s social circles.  Many more details about their lives went unexplained and so having no answers\, she created them instead \n\n  \n  \n  \nPhoto Credit: Jessie Casey
