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 communication with and palliative care of terminally ill and dying patients, and to improve the diagnosis and management of depression at the end of life. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1: Create optimal conditions for the terminally ill patient and his or her family to discuss end-of-life concerns and decisions.
2: Use an evidence-based approach to facilitate discussion of fears, concerns, and wants of the dying patient and his or her family.
3: Recognize depression in patients in palliative care.
4: Differentiate depression from delirium, dementia, adjustment disorders, and grief.
5: Consider the use of psychostimulants for the management of depression at the end of life.
