This 3-part webinar series brings together health care leaders to explore how fossil fuels impact health and how
electrification can improve air quality, reduce disease, and advance climate goals. Sessions offer practical
strategies for patient conversations, clinical practice, and systemic change.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, often misunderstood condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide. ME/CFS presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management, often leaving patients without adequate support or treatment. This webinar is designed to equip health care providers with the knowledge and tools needed to better serve this patient population.

This webinar will:

• Raise awareness of ME/CFS prevalence, symptomatology, and its impact on patient quality of life.
• Strengthen diagnostic capabilities with practical tools and clinical insights.
• Explore evidence-based strategies—both pharmacological and nonpharmacological—for effective symptom management and long-term care.

While somatic cancer panel tests are available to oncologists, many questions remain on how to best integrate them into clinical practice. Chief among the questions are: (1) when to incorporate genomic testing during the course of a patient’s care to achieve maximum benefit; and (2) whether repeated testing can serve to track cancer evolution and refine treatment regimens. Addressing these questions ultimately depends on the clinician’s ability to understand the genomic information provided by these tests and to efficiently extract and evaluate actionable results. The Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative (MCGI) aims to overcome these barriers. The MCGI Genomic Tumor Board meeting series functions as an educational opportunity for oncology clinicians with the objectives outlined above. The MCGI provides an opportunity to serve as a model for community genomic medicine.

The Critical Care Training Associates offers a variety of courses that were initially developed at the request of Maine physicians and critical care transport providers who needed to improve their skills, particularly emergency airway and trauma management skills. CCTA developed a unique, humane training program using fresh sheep cadavers, and their education modules have evolved to become effective labs that provide instruction and real-world simulation that allow students to master skills that actually translate to clinical practice. The results speak for themselves, and the program continues to grow after 28 years of ongoing development and improvement.  Two main classes include Advanced Airways Skills Lab and Advanced Trauma Skills Lab but additional courses are available.

Focused on collaboration and practical solutions, this six-unit learning collaborative will provide actionable insights for strengthening family systems, improving care outcomes, and promoting long-term healing.
