7:00 am: CME: BREAKFAST Journal Club: This Month's Topic... Hospital-Acquired Infections
August 29, 2018 – CME: BREAKFAST Journal Club: This Month\'s Topic... Hospital-Acquired Infections Moderated by Andrew S. McCague, DO, Trauma and Critical Care Surgeon, Natividad Medical Center Natividad has recently set a quality initiative to reduce hospital acquired infections. Evidence demonstrates that physicians are more likely to make permanent behavior changes when educational interventions are ongoing rather than simply one and done. This activity is a follow up to the live activity provided earlier in the month. Physicians may not know the relevant medical literature related to HAI. Physicians need to review this literature and discuss how it applies to Natividad. Physicians also need an opportunity to increase their awareness of the problem and identify ways in which they can contribute to improvements. Desired Outcomes:

September 11, 2018 – CME: Mycobacterial Infections including Tuberculosis September 11 @ 12 noon - S.E.A. Conference Room Presented By: David Epstein, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Infectious Diseases, Stanford University School of Medicine Mycobacterial, including both tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections, are increasingly common and encountered by providers in multiple medical specialties. These infections are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and often require coordinated involvement of many providers. Treatment can be successful, but there are many pitfalls in workup and management. Understanding the epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis and workup, and treatment of patients with mycobacterial infections is critical to avoiding mistakes and ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

September 12, 2018 – CME: TRAUMA Grand Rounds: Pediatric Trauma September 12 @ 12 noon - Natividad Conference Room Presented By: Andrew S. McCague, DO, Trauma and Critical Care Surgeon, Co-Director, ICU, Natividad Medical Center Approximately 35% of significant injuries occur as the result of accidents in the very environment that should be the most sheltering and nurturing to children. Most pediatric trauma occurs as a result of blunt trauma, with penetrating injury accounting for 10-20% of all pediatric trauma admissions at most centers. We will review basic approaches to pediatric trauma including case presentations and literature review. We will review NMC policies regarding pediatric trauma activations. Desired Outcomes:

September 21, 2018 – CME: MEDICINE Grand Rounds: Medical Co-morbidities and Complications in Patients with Substance Use Disorders September 21 @ 12 noon - Natividad Conference Room Presented by Reb Julia-Haas J. Close, MD, Critical Care Specialist, Monterey County Illicit substance use is common in the general population and among persons presenting for primary care. Emergency department visits involving misuse or abuse of prescription medications increased 98.4% between 2004 and 2009, with corresponding dramatic increases in new users, entry into drug treatment, and overdose deaths related to prescription medications. There is increasing recognition of the similarities between substance use disorders and other common chronic illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Like those illnesses, substance use disorders can be identified early when there have been fewer sequelae and when less intensive treatments can be successful. Desired Outcomes:

September 26, 2018 – CME: NMC Grand Rounds: Antibiotic Stewardship – The Fierce Urgency of Now September 26 @ 12 noon - Natividad Conference Room Presented by Stan Deresinski MD, Clinical Professor of Infectious Diseases, Director of Antimicrobial Stewardship Program, Stanford University School of Medicine Antibiotics are among the most frequently prescribed classes of drugs and it is estimated that approximately 50% of antibiotic use, in both the outpatient and inpatient settings, is inappropriate. At the same time, in contrast to any other class of drugs, every antibiotic use has a potential public health consequence – inappropriate use may not harm only the individual patient, but contributes to societal harm by exerting an unnecessary selective pressure that may lead to antibiotic resistance among bacteria. Emerging antimicrobial resistance is as big and difficult a challenge as is climate change. Prescribers must consider this in their antibiotic prescribing practices. Desired Outcomes:
