In this accredited activity, expert faculty, Adjoa Anyane‐Yeboa, MD, MPH, and Ugo Iroku, MD, MHS, dive into the issue of healthcare disparities in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Healthcare disparities disproportionately affect minoritized and low-income groups, contributing to poor health outcomes. Patient-provider distrust, knowledge gaps, and lack of shared decision making contribute to health disparities in these patient groups and influence disease outcomes. It is critical for clinicians to understand the social determinants of health impacting IBD patient care and develop strategies to reduce disparities. In addition, implicit bias significantly affects clinician-patient interaction, as well as diagnosis and treatment decisions. Once clinicians are made aware of their implicit biases, they must work to overcome them and foster open communication with patients to reduce disparities and improve patient care.

In this 1-hour presentation, Dr. Charles Vega discusses the science behind multicancer early detection (MCED) testing and explores the benefits and limitations of MCED tests available for clinical use and undergoing investigation in clinical trials. Faculty also share practical clinical information on integrating MCED testing in current workflows, including identifying patients who are appropriate candidates for MCED testing, addressing patient concerns, and interpreting results. A guide to discussing MCED testing with patients is also provided.

The informational session also discusses communicating with patients and caregivers/families.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by inflammation and obstruction of airflow in the lungs, resulting in difficulty breathing. It includes the conditions of emphysema and chronic bronchitis, both of which contribute to the deterioration of lung function.

Early identification of atypical motor patterns is crucial for timely intervention and optimizing developmental outcomes in infants. A simple yet effective method for assessing these patterns involves observing the baby during a 30-second, 4-position exam.This examination includes careful observation of the infant in the following positions:
* Supine: Note posture, spontaneous movements, and interaction with the environment.

* Horizontal Suspension: Observe head control, trunk extension, and limb movements against gravity.

* Pull to Sit: Assess head lag, trunk activation, and ability to assist with the movement.

* Prone: Evaluate head lifting, weight-bearing through the arms, and early mobility attempts. Gain valuable insights and download resources through this complimentary CME/CE course

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious pathogen belonging to the Pneumoviridae family that circulates seasonally with other respiratory viruses. The majority of the population is exposed to RSV, but children under the age of two years and older adults are at the greatest risk of significant morbidity and mortality. RSV infections are responsible for approximately 60-80% of pediatric bronchiolitis and 40% of pediatric pneumonia cases and are a major cause of global hospitalization and mortality. Almost 70% of children are exposed to RSV during their first year of life, and 90% are exposed within their first two years, resulting in an estimated 427,000 emergency department visits and 1.6 million pediatrician visits annually.

Target Audience:
HCPs including: Obstetricians, pediatricians, and family medicine physicians; physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists specializing in pediatrics; and any other HCPs involved or interested in the management of RSV in infants and high-risk children.
