CME Events

Join the Maine Gastroenterology Society at Sunday River for the revival of their Winter Meeting.  This weekend will include an update for Gastroenterologists, Advanced Practice Professionals, Residents, and Medical Students who want to broaden their knowledge of Gastroenterology.

The annual meeting for Maine Anesthesiologists will include sessions on artificial intelligence in airway management, peri-operative considerations with chronic cannabinoid users, peri-operative methadone for acute pain control, and utility of pre-procedural ultrasound for neuraxial procedures.

This longitudinal collaborative learning experience, designed for primary care providers, is structured to teach updated diagnostic strategies for recognizing, evaluating, and diagnosing autism in early childhood in the primary care medical home and promoting more timely access for early intervention services.  Sessions will be a combination of in-person, virtual webinars, and some asynchronous learning and will include education on use of the ASD-PEDS as a diagnostic tool.

This webinar series will examine opioids, overdose, and brain injury and enhance the capability of Maine brain injury, substance use, and behavioral health (BH) treatment providers to serve persons with co-occurring brain injury and substance use disorder (SUD). Topics include opioid misuse and treatment, how opioid overdose affects the brain, the use of Narcan, and state and community resources available.

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.
