Step One: READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW Target Audience The primary target audience for this CME activity will be family physicians, obstetrics/gynecology physicians, nurse practitioners and nurses who provide treatment to women of childbearing years. Course Description
FASD and its Effects I Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifetime disability with subtle and profound effects to the CNS and other systems. It is 100% preventable if a woman does not drink alcohol during pregnancy. Module 1 focuses on prevalence, effects of alcohol on fetal development, screening processes, and effective counseling strategies. This enduring continuing medical education activity will provide physicians with accurate and current information about FASD. The unique multi-media format of this activity allows physicians and mid level practitioners to access the information and acquire the education credit requirements at their own convenience. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: Module 1: - Identify common misconceptions of who drinks during pregnancy and describe the effects of alcohol on fetal development by trimester
- Explain effective screening and counseling strategies and describe recommendations for women using alcohol during pregnancy
Estimated Time to Complete One hour, 15 minutes Method of Participation There are no fees to participate and receive CME credit for this activity. Participants must read the objectives and faculty disclosures, study the educational activity, complete the posttest by recording the best answer, register, and complete the evaluation. A statement of hours completed will then be issued on this Web site. Accreditation Statements Physicians
