Course Overview
Every day approximately 12,000 baby boomers are turning 65 in the United States.

It is important to recognize that approximately 40% of noncommunicable disease, including Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive impairment, are correlated to modifiable risk factors that directly affect brain health and aging. This course will provide learners with insight into brain composition, disease and conditions that specifically affect brain health, details about modifiable risk factors that directly affect the brain, and steps to take for self-care that can positively impact brain health and functionality. Learners will gain insight into the effects of personal choice and some behaviors on the brain, as well as details about age-related physical changes that can affect the brain. While the impact of many dementias is often spoken about, this course will unveil steps for improving brain health and mitigating disease and impairment. -

Maternal Health Disparities 4
Course release date: 11/1/2023
Course Overview
There is no question that maternal health disparities are a significant problem in the United States. Inequalities have been noted associated with many factors, including education level, literacy, and socioeconomic status. However, the greatest disparities have been noted among racial/ethnic minority women and have been linked to explicit and implicit biases in healthcare providers and systems. It is of the utmost importance that those working in health care and caring for patients in the peripartum and postpartum period are committed on lowering the morbidity and mortality rates of all mothers of color. Promoting equity and cultural competence, effectively addressing modifiable risk factors, improving communication and monitoring, and engaging in regular training are needed to improve these maternal health disparities. -
