Advanced Pharmacology CE Training: Cardiac, Respiratory, Diabetes, GI & More

In this intensive module, Paul Langlois, APN, PhD, CCRN, CCNS, will walk you through step-by-step on how to improve your patients’ responses to their cardiac medication regimens. Immediately elevate your pharmacological expertise without having to spend months researching novel or traditional cardiac medications; their indications, contraindications, drug interactions and evaluation of response to the treatments. You’ll get practical tools and tips that will make your job easier to manage cardiac conditions and prevent a cardiac emergency.

Follow along with Dr. Langlois so you can synthesize all you need to know to safely and effectively manage your cardiac patients with skill and confidence. You can expect the very latest pharmacological strategies for Antiarrhythmics, Anticoagulants, Anti-platelet and Thrombolytics, Antihypertensives, Cholesterol Lowering Drugs, Hypoglycemic Agents... and so more!

Nurse practitioners, physician assistants and physicians have confided in us that they felt apprehension ordering respiratory medications due to an inability to stay current on pharmacology best practices and the complexity required to manage multiple conditions or symptoms at once. It can feel overwhelming... but not for you. Join the countless healthcare providers whom Dr. Langlois has assisted to overcome their prescriptive and administration fears.

As Dr. Langlois guides you through this essential content, you'll get real world case studies to reinforce key points, whether you work in an inpatient or outpatient setting. He will talk through assessment findings and laboratory results to guide expert level pharmacology decisions. You will conclude this comprehensive respiratory medication update with all the information, the evidence and best practice guidance to feel confident with your prescriptive decision making.

As new medications and treatments continue to emerge, the management of diabetes becomes increasingly complex. It is more imperative than ever that we keep up-to-date on current standards and guidelines regarding both oral and injectable medications used for diabetes care. As we better understand the complicated multifactorial pathogenesis of diabetes, it can feel challenging to create individualized treatment plans for patients. Treatments that typically include medication as a critical piece to manage patient blood sugars. This module delivers evidence-based practice recommendations to guide medication choices that will optimize outcomes, improve patient satisfaction and reduce the risk of serious complications that can occur from poor management.

You will achieve a current and comprehensive understanding of the latest approaches to both assess and treat patients with diabetes. Along the way, Laurie Klipfel, RN, MSN, ANP-BC, CDCES, WCC^®, will interject her best clinical tips to improve patient education and empowerment so that you, too, can ultimately impact the greatest goal achievements for your patients!

Follow along with clinical gastroenterologist Dr. Peter Buch as he explores the answers to these and many other questions in this advanced, case-based, and evidence-supported training event. At the end of this module, you'll gain new knowledge on the best pharmacologic practices for the most common GI concerns seen in practice.

You'll get solutions to questions like these, and so many more:

• How do we choose the “best treatment” for Eosinophilic Esophagitis?
• Why are there so many recurrences of Helicobacter pylori?
• What are the best options for treating C. difficile?

Gain perspective from Kiplee Bell, MD, PA, who holds board certification as a Physician Assistant, an additional master’s degree in Gerontology, and her Doctorate in Medicine and clinical experience in acute care, urgent care, ambulatory care and long-term care settings. In this module, you'll get a comprehensive and up-to-date geriatric pharmacology presentation that walks through the body systems: neuro, endocrine, cardiac, pulmonary, GI, infectious disease and musculoskeletal.

You'll walk with new skills, acumen and strategies to differentiate between multiple overlapping comorbidities, determine when Beers Criteria clarifies risk versus benefit in real time, analyze the implications of team dynamics when assessing the geriatric clients, and more.

Are you a busy clinician who does not have time to keep up with the latest medications and trends in geriatric prescribing? This module will provide you with the information you need to feel more confident in choosing the right medication for your older adult patients with mental health issues and dementia.
