Let's Talk About Sex, Baby: Diagnosis and Management of STIs in Urgent Care
with Dr. Benjamin Silverberg
Recorded Webinar
Description:
The patient sits cross-legged;
their foot taps too much. It's just urine testing -
why do they blush?
If roses are red,
and violets are blueish,
is gonorrhea now treated
with one drug or twoish?
Whether you're a poet... or not... sexual health is something you've just gotta talk about in your clinic. The epidemic of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the U.S. continues to grow, so there's no avoiding the topic. Patients' emotions can run high and they look to you for reassurance.
In this fast-paced, case-based presentation, Ben Silverberg, MD, covers this sensitive area better than Cupid's diaper, reviewing those burning symptoms and stinky results. Sometimes looking under the microscope gives you a clue, but with rapidly-advancing benchtop equipment, we can arrive at the diagnosis faster than a florist on Valentine's Day. Give yourself the gift that keeps on giving: The confidence that you are providing the best treatment for your patients, from soup to nuts.
In this recorded webinar + Q&A, you will learn to:
- Counsel patients on appropriate screening (tests and intervals) for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Summarize the differences in the CDC's 2021 treatment recommendations compared to 2015.
- Diagnose possible sequelae from untreated STIs and coordinate follow-up care.
