UMMC & Hometown Pediatric Dermatology - ECHO Series
2025-03-05 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
Overview: This project aims to improve the treatment of pediatric skin conditions including eczema, acne, birthmarks, warts, and other pediatric skin diseases with the intended target audience of rural healthcare providers in the Upper Midwest. Since over 30% of visits to primary care for children, a skin-related complaint is noted, and for nearly 60% of those patients, it is their chief complaint; this ECHO aims to expand expertise for pediatricians, family medicine physicians, and APPs in assessing and treating pediatric skin conditions. Primary care professionals join board-certified pediatric dermatologists to discuss best practices and evidence-based approaches to pediatric skin disease and create an ongoing learning collaborative to empower primary care clinicians to deliver high-quality skin disease treatment. Each session consists of a mini-lecture followed by a discussion of attendee-provided patient cases with a pediatric dermatologist. Early access to expert care saves lives, reduces healthcare costs, and improves access to care for children and teens. There are fewer than 400 board-certified, practicing pediatric dermatologists in the United States, with zero in Montana, North Dakota, or South Dakota; and one in Idaho and Wyoming, in some states, such as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan there are a few pediatric dermatologists, but they are clustered in urban areas. The distances are often too far for families to reasonably travel to seek specialty care, given the size of the states and the challenges with winter weather (which lasts for up to 6 months per year).
Topics Covered

Atopic Dermatitis
Topical treatments for pediatric and adolescent acne
Seborrheic Dermatitis
Molluscum Contagiosum
Moles and Sun Protection
Impetigo

Link: https://iecho.org/public/program/PRGM1701792008640ZWOPNQ6LUA
Target Audience: Pediatric and Family Primary care clinicians, nurses or other interested healthcare providers in areas with limited pediatric dermatology access across the Upper Midwest. There is no geographic restriction for participation.
Community Clinicians will get CME/CEU in a virtual learning network through the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
The planners and speaker for today have no relevant financial relationships to disclose.

American Relief Act, 2025 — Critical Outstanding Issues
2025-01-15 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Chicago)
On Dec. 21, 2024, President Biden signed the American Relief Act, 2025 (ARA), into law, narrowly avoiding a federal government shutdown. Unlike the more comprehensive bill defeated in the House of Representatives two days earlier after President-elect Trump raised objections, the ARA is a temporary solution to keep the federal government operating through the end of March.
On Wednesday, Jan. 15, 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET, PYA presents a new webinar, “The American Relief Act, 2025: How We Got Here, What It Means, Where We’re Headed.” During the webinar, PYA’s Martie Ross and Kathy Reep will discuss the impact of the new law, both by what’s included and what’s not. Ross and Reep will prognosticate what will happen in the first months of the Trump administration to address critical outstanding issues such as

Medicare telehealth coverage
Medicare physician pay cut
Price transparency
Site-neutral payments

2025-01-14 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
This webinar will provide an overview of new research by the North Carolina Rural Health Research Program on the topic of rural hospital financial distress.

Rural hospital profitability continues to be a challenge; having a model that can accurately predict financial distress and closure helps programs and policymakers better target resources to prevent closure or convert to other models of care.
