PBI Elevating Civility and Communication in Health Care: Extended Edition is organized by Professional Boundaries Education and will be held from Sep 18 - 20, 2020 at UCI Student Center & Event Services, Irvine, California, United States of America. Professions this course is suitable for: All healthcare clinicians, including trainees. Also suitable for those in a supervisory role wishing to foster and role model civility within their teams. Accreditation: The University of California, Irvine School of Medicine designates these live activities each for a maximum of 42 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in activity. Format: Part One: • Pre-course component: Online written assignments and readings (six hours) • In-person component: Three days (24 hours) • 30 CME hour certificate for pre-course + in-person course distributed upon successful completion of course at the end of day three. Part Two: • Post-course component: Faculty-led group conference calls (MAS). One hour weekly for 12 weeks. • 12 CME hour certificate distributed upon successful completion of 12th session of course. Summary: Breakdowns in communication, within teams or with patients, can occur in many ways. Common examples include outbursts of anger, misunderstandings of tone or volume of voice, cultural differences, inappropriate humor, the use of touch, and others. All of these breakdowns can result in stressful work environments, costly turnover in staff, and poor clinical outcomes. This process-driven, highly interactive, three-day course with extended follow-up is designed to remediate distressed or disruptive clinicians who employ a broad range of unproductive or challenging communication behaviors. The course aims to return clinicians to meaningful careers properly equipped with the tools they need and a Personalized Protection Plan for communicating effectively and professionally in the future. Prior to arrival at the seminar, participants begin our course with online pre-course assignments that include a personal essay and a Communication Self-Assessment Test. Our confidential and non-judgmental small-group seminar format creates a safe environment for honest disclosure and self-assessment. Through the use of the PBI Incivility Formula ©, participants are guided by faculty to openly examine their own personal vulnerabilities, risk factors, and resistance to self-assessment. Through this process, participants will begin to understand the harm their incivility may have caused to those around them, begin to accept responsibility for their actions, and develop a program of change. Participants' insights drive the composition of their own stratified Personalized Protection Plan, which they present to the course faculty and class in a peer-review-type format.   This process of insight-driven change continues upon concluding the in-person course through the weekly, telephonic Maintenance and Accountability Seminars (MAS). These calls reinforce the concepts learned in the seminar. These sessions elevate participants' accountability through revisiting their experiences, putting their Personalized Protection Plans into practice, and engaging them in a community of peer review and support. This course addresses issues such as: • Ineffective, unproductive, or uncollegial team or clinical communication • Disruptive behavior • Poor conflict management • Difficulty in showing sensitivity or empathy • Lack of awareness about how one comes across to others • Management of frustrating situations or individuals • Red flags that indicate potential communication breakdowns in oneself or others Learning objectives: • Explain how incivility and inappropriate communication can adversely impact clinical care • Employ heightened self-awareness and empathy to improve their professional interactions • Demonstrate that civility and professional communication practices are instrumental in attaining greater meaning in their work, reducing frustration, and counteracting feelings of burnout • Formulate and implement a tiered Protection Plan to maintain civility and professional communication in the workplace and to include relapse prevention strategies • Detect the early warning signs indicative of potential communication and professionalism breakdowns in themselves and others • Create systems to support ongoing and widespread civility and professional communication practices in their workplace

Treating the Not-So-Silent-Killer: Protecting Patients with Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) is organized by Glidewell Laboratories and will be held from Sep 18 - 19, 2020 at Glidewell International Technology Center, Irvine, California, United States of America. This course has been approved for a maximum of 13 Hours. Description: The most frequent symptoms of a patient with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are snoring and fatigue, but in severe cases these patients can stop breathing for extended periods of time during sleep. Strokes, heart attacks and automobile accidents are all too common. To address this potential danger, the ADA adopted a policy in 2017 stating that all dentists are encouraged to screen their patients for sleep disorders. Reasonable and prudent practitioners need to screen all patients for SDB and initiate appropriate diagnosis and therapy where indicated. Failure to do this could result in legal problems. Patients who are screened for SDB and are found to be dangerously sleepy need immediate help. In this course, Dr. Berley will cover techniques that satisfy the legal requirements for appropriate screening, and he will provide an introduction to provisional mandibular advancement therapy (PMAD). The PMAD protocol provides provisional therapy that can be used to minimize symptoms and improve daytime sleepiness until a final diagnosis and definitive therapy is initiated. This therapy can reduce the risk to the patient and minimize the course participant’s risk as a healthcare provider. Learning Objectives: • Identify SDB using a standardized method • Administer the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) protocol for the treatment of SDB with mandibular advancement appliances • Manage SDB using mandibular advancement devices • Employ the appropriate mandibular advancement appliance for PMAD therapy
