Description
Purpose: Audio-Digest Foundation CME/CE activities are designed to provide its learners – physicians and other healthcare professionals – with continuing education that will help identify clinical problems in their practice settings, provide content to help to solve those problems, and increase their application of knowledge to practice.
Audio-Digest Internal Medicine is specifically designed to provide the participant with state-of-the-art information on, including, but not limited to, the diagnosis and management of:
Gastroenterology
Hematology and medical oncology
Rheumatology
Pulmonary and critical care medicine
Endocrinology
Infectious disease
Nephrology and hypertension
Cardiology
Geriatric medicine
The goals of this program are to improve the diagnosis and management of depression and dementia in older patients, and to improve in-office evaluation and counseling of older drivers. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1: Differentiate between depression and dementia in older patients.
2: Screen for signs of dementia while evaluating an older patient presenting with depression.
3: Prescribe the recommended medical treatment for an older patient when unsure if he or she he has depression, dementia, or both.
4: Assess the vision, cognition, and motor-sensory skills of older drivers and determine if they represent a risk to self and others.
5: Identify and counsel the older patient who needs to retire from driving.
