2020 Acupuncture Association of Colorado (AAC) Conference is organized
by Acupuncture Association of Colorado (AAC) and will be held from Apr
18 - 19, 2020 at Denver Marriott Westminster, Westminster, Colorado,
United States of America. This Conference has been approved for a
maximum of 14 NCCAOM and CA CEU’S (CURRENTLY PENDING). Course
Category One- (AOM)- 10 hours Course Category Two- Safety (SA)- 2
hours Course Category Three- Ethics (ET)- 2 hours Description: In the
highly-regulated, highly-competitive field of health care, an ethical
misconduct complaint, safety violation/citation or lawsuit is not
always a result of a practitioner's intentionally bad behavior or
lapse of judgment. Experienced, diligent Acupuncture and Oriental
Medicine (AOM) practitioners can find themselves facing the prospect
of damaging professional disciplinary actions, safety violations
and/or litigation simply because they failed to receive proper
training and utilize effective risk management strategies to maintain
a lawful, ethical and safe practice. This program will begin with a
detailed overview of the National Certification Commission for
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) Code of Ethics, Grounds for
Professional Discipline and Procedures for Upholding Professional
Conduct. From there, analysis will be conducted of the relevant state
codes, laws and regulations impacting an AOM practice. Attendees will
learn about common ethical, safety and legal pitfalls from real cases
throughout the country and effective risk management, safety and
problem prevention strategies from an expert attorney with decades of
experience in the field of AOM. Goals and objectives: • The role of
Chinese medicine in the management and mitigation of side effects of
cancer and its treatment • The role of Chinese medicine in
identifying and addressing a wide range of chronic and late effects
• Quickening the body’s recovery after treatment • Promoting
and maintaining a healthy immune system while on-therapy
• Understanding cancer recurrence and strategies for cancer
prevention Participants will learn about the current biomedical
treatment interventions for the most common cancers. Strategies for
how to develop a treatment plan, including understanding the cancer
patient’s treatment roadmap will be presented. Participants will
learn cautions and contraindications for a variety of Chinese medicine
treatment interventions, including in the setting of special clinical
circumstances. Methods of treatment to manage and mitigate acute and
long-term side effects of cancer and its treatment will be
covered. Participants will learn how to effectively communicate with
a patient’s medical team about AOM care. Since cancer survivors have
unique medical needs, participants will be introduced to a wide range
of content related to effectively treating survivors of diverse
cancers. Strategies for treatment interventions during the time of
transitioning off-therapy and into long-term survival will be
covered. Participants will learn about the challenges cancer
survivors face and the role we can play as a member of their
healthcare team.
