SUMMARY:Allergy - How To Do It
DESCRIPTION:This thorough\, self-paced enduring activity is designed to address the gaps that persist in allergy testing.  There are multiple evidence-based\, insurance-covered modalities for testing for allergies.  This course is designed to narrow that gap and train physician offices to expand their practice into allergy testing.  It is also designed to address the gaps in undiagnosed allergies and patient treatment by providing thorough demonstrations and outlines for assessing and treating patients with allergies. \nFollowing this program\, learners will define the etiology of URD\, pain and inflammation and outline the considerations for arriving at treatment decisions. \nLearners will apply evidence-based methodologies using history\, physical and diagnostic testing in making an accurate diagnosis. \nLearners will discuss the clinical role of skin testing and/or blood testing for IGE in determining the true etiology as well as their benefit in the disease management process. \nFinally\, learners will incorporate the best suited management options and conduct appropriate testing and treating.

SUMMARY:NFO Business of Medicine Web Series: Bridging the Gap - Enhancing Healthcare Literacy\, Empathy\, and Communication to Prevent Bias and Improve Patient Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Effective healthcare depends on more than clinical expertise-it requires communication patients can understand and trust. This session examines how health literacy\, empathy\, and plain language influence patient safety\, treatment adherence\, satisfaction\, health equity\, and organizational risk. Participants will explore common communication barriers\, their connection to adverse outcomes and liability\, and practical strategies for making written and verbal information more accessible. Through real-world examples and evidence-based tools\, attendees will learn how to strengthen informed consent\, patient education\, discharge instructions\, and everyday patient-provider interactions\, helping patients make informed decisions and confidently participate in their care. \nAs a result of participating in this activity\, learners will be able to:\n1. Understand health care literacy in the U.S.\n2. Understand the impact of low health literacy on patient outcomes.\n3. Demonstrate the connection between health literacy\, safety and litigation risks.\n4. Learn how empathy can enhance patient-provider interactions\, improve patient satisfaction and reduce risks.\n5. Empower healthcare providers with strategies to communicate effectively and empathetically with patients.\n6. Utilize tools and resources to improve both patient\, personal and organizational health literacy.

SUMMARY:Monarch Master Injectors: All Levels Neurotoxin Course
DESCRIPTION:Many practitioners lack continuous\, advanced training in facial anatomy\, neurotoxin preparation\, patient consultation and technique. Without regular updates on injection strategies\, facial anatomy\, and product-specific behavior\, competence can decline. Regular training\, especially hands on and simulation training\, has been shown to improve skill by up to 25%\, but not all providers engage in such programs. \nThis program divides a full day into novice neurotoxin (first half of day) and advanced neurotoxin (second half of day). During the novice portion\, learners review patient anatomy and infection prevention protocols\, as well as outline patient consult and product preparation.  All FDA-approved products are reviewed with appropriate storage and reconstitution.  Technique and injection mapping for the frontalis\, glabellar complex\, and orbicularis oculi is also thoroughly outlined. Learners must demonstrate skills on practicum in order to advance to the advanced portion (second half of day). \nThe advanced neurotoxin expands the curriculum into neurotoxin mapping\, assessment\, preparation and technique to the following areas:\nMasseter\, Mentalis\, DAO\, Platysmal bands\, Lip flip\, Bunny lines\, Gummy smile\, Chin. Dose adjustments and complication management are heavily emphasized.  The session ends with a clinical lab skills checkoff.

SUMMARY:Monarch Master Injectors: Novice Lip Filler Training
DESCRIPTION:Aesthetic medicine lacks national standards for training\, leading to a patchwork of programs — from accredited clinical curricula to manufacturer-sponsored weekend courses. Many practitioners enter the field with brief\, unaccredited training\, which can result in poor technique\, inadequate anatomy knowledge\, and poor emergency management. This inconsistency means some providers can perform complex procedures safely\, while others may cause complications. \nMany injectors focus on checklist-based technique but neglect hands-on\, anatomy-integrated training and simulated injection practice. This can leave them unprepared for real-time decision-making in high-risk areas\, like lip filler.  Even with correct technique\, analog skills — unmeasurable\, experiential abilities — are critical for lip filler injection safety. \nLip filler is the most complaint-prone injectable due to its visibility and high patient expectations. A thorough understanding of patient anatomy\, risk areas\, tissue depth and complication management is crucial to patient safety. \nUpon completion of this educational activity\, participants will be able to:\nDescribe the facial tissue layers\, lip anatomy\, and vascular structures relevant to safe dermal filler injection.\nExplain the composition\, properties\, indications\, and clinical applications of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.\nSelect appropriate products based on patient anatomy and treatment goals.\nPerform comprehensive patient assessment\, lip mapping\, and individualized treatment planning.\nDemonstrate proper handling\, storage\, preparation\, and injection techniques using retrograde linear threading.\nSafely perform upper and lower lip augmentation while maintaining natural facial proportions and symmetry.\nRecognize early signs of vascular occlusion and implement appropriate emergency management\, including the use of hyaluronidase.\nCounsel patients on post-treatment expectations\, aftercare\, and follow-up recommendations.\nSuccessfully demonstrate procedural competency through a faculty-observed hands-on skills assessment.

SUMMARY:Monarch Master Injectors: Introductory Microneedling & Dermaplaning
DESCRIPTION:Aesthetic medicine lacks national standards for training\, leading to a patchwork of programs — from accredited clinical curricula to manufacturer-sponsored weekend courses. Many practitioners enter the field with brief\, unaccredited training\, which can result in poor technique\, inadequate anatomy knowledge\, and poor emergency management. This inconsistency means some providers can perform complex procedures safely\, while others may cause complications. \nBoth dermaplaning and microneedling face significant competency and practice gaps due to inconsistent training\, unclear scope-of-practice rules\, and rapid market growth without standardized oversight. \nMicroneedling is a prime example of a procedure where the line between cosmetic and medical practice is defined by needle depth. Devices set below ~0.3 mm are often considered cosmetic and may be performed by estheticians in permissive states\, but deeper dermal-level microneedling is generally the practice of medicine restricted to licensed clinicians (NPs\, PAs\, RNs\, physicians) under delegation or medical direction. This creates a market-regulation mismatch: many providers offer “microneedling” under a cosmetic label but perform deeper treatments without the required credentials\, risking legal and safety issues. \nWhile dermaplaning is often marketed as a simple exfoliation\, it can cause microtrauma and\, if performed on sensitive skin or with improper technique\, may trigger inflammation\, infection\, or even trigger acne in predisposed patients. \nLearners will:\nDescribe the anatomy and physiology of the skin as it relates to dermaplaning and microneedling.\nIdentify appropriate patient candidates through consultation\, assessment\, and contraindication screening.\nExplain the mechanisms of collagen induction therapy and epidermal exfoliation.\nSelect appropriate devices\, cartridges\, needle depths based on patient presentation.\nDemonstrate proper infection prevention\, aseptic technique\, and procedural safety.\nPerform dermaplaning using proper blade selection\, angulation\, skin tension\, and stroke technique.\nPerform microneedling using appropriate treatment parameters while recognizing expected clinical endpoints.\nCompare the post-treatment erythema.\nDevelop individualized treatment plans and provide appropriate post-procedure instructions.\nSuccessfully demonstrate procedural competency through a faculty-observed hands-on skills assessment.
