| Program Overview |
In 2000, AB 1820 was signed into California law. This bill requires general internists and family physicians whose patient population consists of 25% or more patients at least 65 years of age to complete at least 20% of their mandatory CME, or 10 CME hours for every two years of CME reporting, in the field of geriatric medicine.
In response to AB 1820 and to ensure physician members are continually receiving the most updated information and training in geriatric care, CAMASC has conducted an educational needs survey among its physician members, and through gap analysis research, identified the following five (5) topics to be addressed:
- Diabetes Screening
- Diabetes Management
- Colon Cancer and Cervical Cancer Prevention
- Depression in Adult and Elderly Chinese
- Advance Care Planning: Starting the Conversation with Chinese American Seniors
|
| Educational Purpose |
The purpose of this activity is to narrow the existing practice gaps by addressing cultural, ethnic, and age-specific health disparities and new scientific knowledge to improve patient care. A variety of teaching and evaluation methods have been developed to facilitate learning and professional development. At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to discuss differential diagnoses, describe possible complications and list preventive measures, implement educational, preventive, and therapeutic interventions, and improve cultural and linguistic competence in communication in their treatment of the elderly. This activity is expected to result in increased knowledge/competence and better performance in making an appropriate diagnosis, providing effective treatment and referral or follow-up care, with the overall goal of improving patient care for elderly patients.
