With the average treatment cost of $600 - $1,800 per patient depending upon indications aesthetically or medically, it allows for the physician to realize additional cash revenues within their practice with little or no capital expenditure. Empire Medical's Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Training is the perfect complement to other aesthetic injectible procedures (i.e. Botox/Dermal Fillers) and can be easily incorporated into any type of medical or aesthetic practice. PRP therapies allow for the separation of a patient’s blood through a variety of harvesting techniques to extract a concentration of autologous platelets (2.5x – 9.0x). These platelets when activated release adhesive glycoproteins (fibrin, fibronectin, and vitronectin) and various growth factors forming a fibrin mesh under the tissue. Program Overview: The Platelet Rich Plasma course will review all of the indications for the use of PRP for all aesthetic, medical, pain management, and alopecia indications. This evidence based course allows for you to understand and fully integrate this popular procedure within your practice. Learning Objectives: Upon completion of the educational activity, participants should be able to: • Identify appropriate candidates for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections based on medical and/or aesthetic need determined by evidence-based protocols to optimize outcomes. • Describe the various standards of care to safely administer secondary uses of Autologous PRP injections for medical pain management. • Apply proper injection technique of PRP to safely administer the product, minimize complications and provide optimal patient outcomes.

West Coast District Dental Association Annual Summer Meeting is organized by West Coast District Dental Association (WCDDA) and will be held from Aug 07 - 09, 2020, at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, Naples, Florida, United States of America. Accreditation: This course has been approved for a maximum of 9 CE Credits   Course Description: This series of seminars will present a potpourri of interesting case studies in oral and maxillofacial pathology covering a variety of conditions encountered in general and specialty dental practices. The presenter will utilize an audience response system called Poll Everywhere, which will enable participants to use their cell phones to anonymously respond and interact with the presenter. In addition, the lecture will be customized by the audience responses and questions to better facilitate learning. Emphasis will be placed on lesions and conditions commonly seen in dental practice, especially those difficult to diagnose or to manage, newly diagnosed conditions and, especially premalignant or early malignant lesions This seminar will focus on early oral cancers and pre-cancers, especially their clinical features. Early forms of cancer often have specific patterns based on location. Gingival cancers and especially pre-cancers have recently presented with a new clinical appearance. I have coined the appearance “ring around the collar.” This innocuous-looking circumferential leukoplakia of the marginal gingiva is very important to recognize and treat early. Also, gingival cancers often resemble gingivitis and erythroplakia must be distinguished from chronic gingivitis. Multiple examples of early cancers from all oral and oropharyngeal sites will be shown to improve the clinician’s ability to recognize these often benign-appearing lesions.

24th Annual NICU Leadership Forum is organized by Synova Associates LLC and will be held from Sep 15 - 18, 2020 at Naples Grande Beach Resort, Naples, Florida, United States of America. Accreditation: The NICU Leadership Forum is approved for approximately 18 contact hours through Abbott Nutrition Health Institute. The pre-conferences will be awarded contact hours depending on the length of the program. Course Description: Fostering a Healthy Work Environment through Synergy, Inclusion and Ethical Leadership Hospital surveys have shown that a positive work environment improves the quality and safety of patient care, reduces staff burnout and turnover, and improves patient satisfaction. Unfortunately, staff and families bring outside stressors into the NICU, incivility among staff is on the rise, and tension among racial, socio-economic and generational groups is palpable in many hospitals. Keeping staff happy, healthy and feeling valued has become a top priority for today’s leaders. For the leader, this starts by looking inward – becoming more self-aware, understanding internal biases, and looking at how one’s values impact the workplace. Next, the leadership team needs to create a stable atmosphere that will help staff feel empowered, energized, and able to keep their mental and physical well-being in check. This includes encouraging empathy and caring, championing inclusiveness, and communicating openly. And lastly the entire team has to support each other to grow personally and professionally in order to deliver optimal care to patients and their families. At the 2020 NICU Leadership Forum, we will explore these topics (and more!) and learn from the collective experiences of neonatal leaders by giving you tangible strategies for success. You’ll be immersed in an energetic, thought-provoking and rejuvenating conference experience suited to both new and seasoned leaders. At the 2020 NICU Leadership Forum, you can expect: • Leadership experts who map out clear strategies for success • Numerous opportunities to network, meet and exchange ideas • Small group time to share best practices and challenges • Access to innovative ideas, products and services • Therapeutic environment at a 5-star resort Pre-Conferences: Sunday, April 19th New Leader Bootcamp (full day) Description: This preconference is aimed at leaders with less than 3 years of leadership experience.
