Terrorism has become a fact of daily life in the United States and most of the world. It is not always obvious when a disaster is a terrorist attack and not all emergencies or disasters are terrorist attacks. Understanding the basics of a disaster and/or terrorist attack, as well as the role a healthcare provider plays in dealing with the medical consequences, syndromic surveillance/reporting requirements, and treatment are vital to successful mitigation and response in a disaster or terrorist attack. - Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Comprehensive Review for Dental Professionals, 3rd Edition 2Release Date: 10/15/2022

This intermediate-level course discusses the latest evidence-based diagnostic approaches for OSA and outlines recommended treatment strategies, including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), OAs, and surgical intervention, to mitigate the health impact of this common condition. Several resources listed at the end of this course can provide dental professionals with further opportunities for education and training in this area.

Course Release Date: 1/9/2024
About the Course:
The purpose of this basic-level course is to provide dental practitioners with an appreciation of the scope of the problem of prescription drug abuse and a realization that the misuse and abuse of these drugs likely take place among the patient populations they serve. By becoming familiar with the pharmacology of the most commonly abused drugs, the risk factors for developing addictive behaviors, and the manner in which these medications are commonly acquired, dental providers will be positioned to curb prescribing practices that contribute to this growing problem and will be better able to serve their patients and their communities as informed prevention advocates.
