The LGBTQIA+ population has evolved over the past several years to include other gender non-conforming and gender minority populations. The individual needs of each population within this acronym vary and as a result need to have specialized, focused care in order to meet their healthcare needs. These gender and sexual minorities still encounter issues concerning sexuality, identity, gender, and freedom of expression with their healthcare providers. It is a well-documented fact that the majority of healthcare providers today have not been properly educated on how to care for this population therefore, the specific needs pertaining to each individual group represented in this acronym go largely ignored. This session will focus on how to approach the care of LGBTQIA+ patients and address their specific needs in an effort to promote patient-centered care. | 1.50 credits (0.25 pharmacology) | $37.50

Building upon the revised diagnostic framework of the DSM-5, this presentation defines somatic symptom disorders, reducing the focus upon lacking medical explanations for physical symptoms in order to make the diagnosis of “medically unexplained symptoms.” With the renewed goal of increasing patient access to appropriate treatment, symptoms that are substantially more severe than expected in association with distress and impairment are emphasized. The presentation explores conditions with no medical explanation and conditions where there is some underlying pathology but an exaggerated response. These concepts are operationalized to enhance the nurse practitioner’s skill in assessing, diagnosing, and managing these challenging disorders in a variety of settings. | 1.75 credits (0.50 pharmacology) | $40

The 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act (Farm Bill 2018) authorized by Congress made hemp products containing less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) legal. However, contrary to popular belief, this bill did not authorize the legal sale of cannabidiol (CBD) products for promotion of any traditional health benefits, yet the sale of CBD products across the United States has significantly increased following its passage. There is currently no formal regulation on CBD products being sold in the United States beyond Epidiolex® which is specifically regulated as a drug via the FDA. Pharmacists need to understand the basics of how CBD acts on the human body, which health claims have been proven via robust clinical trials, and the potential adverse effects and drug interactions that may occur in a patient who uses these unregulated products in conjunction with their prescribed or over-the-counter medication regimen. Pharmacists also need to be able to provide information regarding the sale and regulation of CBD products and the potential issues that may arise given the current legal status of CBD products. | 1.50 credits (1.50 pharmacology) | $40.00
