Chapter 3: Common Envenomations: Snakes, Lizards, Marine Life and Arthropods [3 contact hours] Many people use venomous and poisonous interchangeably, but there are significant differences. Venoms are endogenously produced by the animal and actively introduced into the victim through a wound created by a fang, stinger, pincer, or spike. The clinical scenarios in which these occur are referred to as envenomations or envenomings. This course will focus exclusively on the most clinically relevant terrestrial and marine venomous animals native to the U.S., including vertebrates (e.g., snakes, lizards, and fishes) and invertebrates (e.g., cnidarians and arthropods). Common myths will be dispelled, and learners will be provided with evidence-based treatment guidelines.

Chapter 6: Noninsulin Antihyperglycemic Agents for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes 60 [2.5 contact hours] Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome associated with increasing morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Despite evidence supporting guideline-directed therapy and management for reduction of morbidity and mortality, these medications are still underprescribed. According to the CHAMP-HF registry, among eligible patients, only 22% were prescribed essential heart failure medications per guideline recommendations ((Greene et al., 2018). Healthcare providers have an essential role in improving outcomes with heart failure by bridging the gap between guideline- directed recommendations and actual clinical practice. The learning outcomes of this activity will help clinicians understand this healthcare gap by reviewing the current evidence-based pharmacotherapy recommendations for HF treatment through analyzing clinical trials and guidelines.
