Supporting Organ and Tissue Donation in Clinical Settings: The Pennsylvania Requirement 2
Course release date: 5/1/2026
Course Overview
Every day in the United States, approximately 13 people die waiting for an organ transplant. As of 2026, more than 100,000 individuals remain on the national transplant waiting list, and a new name is added every 8 minutes. In Pennsylvania alone, more than 6,000 residents are awaiting lifesaving transplants, yet the gap between supply and demand persists --not solely due to a lack of willing donors, but often because of missed opportunities within the clinical setting. Pennsylvania law, under Act 90 of 2018, mandates that licensed nurses and physicians receive education in organ and tissue donation as part of their continuing education requirements. This course fulfills that obligation. Its purpose is not merely regulatory compliance; it is to equip the bedside clinician with the knowledge, confidence, and communication skills to identify potential donors, support grieving families, collaborate with procurement organizations, and deliver compassionate care at one of the most sensitive moments in the human experience. -

Colorectal Cancer 15
5
Course release date: 4/1/2025
Course Overview
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and roughly 35% of those who develop colorectal cancer die from the disease. Improved therapies and widespread primary prevention through screening have resulted in the United States being the only developed country with declining colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. However, there is substantial room for improvement, and primary care provider knowledge of colorectal cancer is essential to continue reducing cases through screening and early detection. Improved clinician knowledge of the most recent research on new diagnostic and therapy modalities is required in order to improve patient outcomes and reduce side effects.
