  • 2023 Threat Landscape: Violence Prevention in Healthcare Settings* - On Demand Access
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Violence rates in healthcare have doubled since 2011, and nearly three-quarters of all violence-related nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2018 were incurred by healthcare workers. Workplace violence poses a significant threat to the health, safety and well-being of healthcare workers and has negative implications for their productivity, retention and the quality of care they provide to patients. As U.S. healthcare workers in the private sector are five times more likely to experience nonfatal violence-related injury compared to workers in all other private industries combined, it is imperative that OMSs and practice staff understand the types and sources of workplace violence. Attendees of this 90-minute webinar will learn strategies and techniques for mitigating this risk to their employees and their patients. Code: WPM231018R

  • Human Papillomavirus: Pathogenesis, Transmission, Role in Oropharyngeal Cancer and Cancer Prevention - On Demand Access
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the U.S. While there are more than 200 human papillomaviruses, most people who are infected by HPV will clear the virus. However, infections with high-risk, long-lasting strains can result in cancer development. One of the most common sites of HPV-associated cancers is the oropharynx made up of the base of tongue, soft palate, palatine tonsils, lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls. Today, HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer is one of the fastest-rising cancers in men. In this 60-minute webinar, participants will gain knowledge of the pathogenesis of HPV, including routes of transmission, epidemiology of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer – as well as its treatment and prognosis – and the role of vaccination as a preventive measure.

  • Psychedelics in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - On Demand Access
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of psychedelic substances as a potential treatment option for a variety of medical conditions. Regulatory restrictions on research into psychedelics were lifted in 2000, and the first landmark study on psilocybin at Johns Hopkins University was published in 2006. The volume of research has been growing every year. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) have been shown in clinical trials to be effective in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction and end-of-life distress. In recent years, several cities such as Detroit, Seattle and Santa Cruz as well as all of Oregon and Colorado have decriminalized the possession and use of psychedelic substances. The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation for psilocybin and MDMA-assisted therapy for certain conditions. As legislation changes and psychedelics move from the underground to the mainstream, the anesthetic, dental and oral and maxillofacial surgery fields will have to adjust. This 60-minute webinar will define psychedelics and explore the risks, benefits and potential place in dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Code: WCE230726R

  • Keys to Successful Retirement Planning* - On Demand Access
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Getting to a successful retirement on one’s terms is the No. 1 financial goal for many AAOMS members. Qualified retirement plans – such as pensions, profit-sharing plans and 401(k)s – are powerful tools to help achieve this goal. However, while popular, they are often misused by practices or implemented sub-optimally. Non-qualified plans can be even more powerful tools, yet few practices implement them. This 90-minute webinar explains the pros and cons of both at a high level with examples. With these tools and others, participants can figure out if they are on track for their retirement goals.
