ce course #1-Nicotine Dependence Treatment Strategies for Oral Health Professionals

8:30am-11:30am  3CEUs

 Part 1:  Every Smoker, Every Time (ESET)
ESET training provides entry level tobacco use related education for health care professionals. ESET includes information on effective brief intervention, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), and referral options.  The training is approximately 1.5 hours long.  Participants receive a completion email after passing a post-test with a score of 80% or better.  The training is based on effective validated tobacco dependence treatments and practices found in the AHRQ guidelines, Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence: 2008 Update – Clinical Practice Guide.  ESET training is part of the entry point process for individuals to be included on the Pre-Approved Tobacco Cessation Registry maintained by the Pennsylvania Department of Health which could be a requirement for billing reimbursement to be identified as a Medicaid Tobacco Cessation Counselor.
 Part 2:  Integrating Nicotine Dependence Treatment with Oral Health: For Dental Professionals
The link between tobacco use and negative effects on oral health are widely known within the oral health community.  Studies indicate that advice from health care professionals increases the chance of quitting and long-term abstinence by 30%. Oral health care professionals see patients twice per year, presenting a unique opportunity to speak with patients about tobacco use, advise them to quit, and refer to appropriate resources.  As of fall, 2019, these services may be billed by oral healthcare providers although the payment model is still being finalized.  However, there is a lack of awareness both in how to perform these services and in how to bill for services.  In response the Northwest Pennsylvania Tobacco Control Program (NWPA TCP) has partnered with The Pennsylvania Coalition of Oral Health (PCOH) to develop Integrating Nicotine Dependence Treatment with Oral Health: For Dental Professionals; a live 1.5-hour tobacco and nicotine education training. The training translates information presented in ESET into the oral health setting with primary focus on providing support and additional training in referring dental patients to cessation treatment programming, offering tools to empower oral health professionals towards conducting effective cessation counseling, and informing dental clinicians how to bill for these services.  Attendees will be presented data supporting the logic behind offering cessation services as a natural extension of oral and overall health for patients who use tobacco products, as well as encouragement to consider systems change towards that end.

 CE COURSE #2-The Oral Systemic Connection: A Patient’s Perspective

12:30pm-1:30pm  1 CEU

 A traditional problem in medical education is the tendency to dehumanize disease from the patient.  While the pathophysiological perspective is the current gold standard in medical education, it does not adequately portray individuals being in the world with said conditions.  The goal of this course is to subjectively look at four individuals living with breast cancer, drug addiction, HIV and Sjogren’s syndrome through their words.
