Virtual Grand Rounds: COVID-19 Therapeutics - When and How to Treat for COVID-19

February 14, 2023

Noon – 1:00 pm

We have entered another calendar year in which COVID-19 remains a predominant part of our lives. We are armed with a variety of outpatient treatment options for COVID-19, yet few patients are receiving treatment as recommended by California public health authorities. In this webinar, we will hear from California State Epidemiologist Erica Pan, M.D., MPH, about the state of COVID-19 in California, as well as other relevant public health announcements. We will also hear from experts about COVID-19 therapeutics – including efficacy, treatment recommendations, interactions and other details –that may help clinicians support their patients with appropriate therapeutics.

Webinar: New NP ClassificationsWhat Physicians Need to Know

February 23, 2023

12:15 – 1:15pm

Assembly Bill 890 (Wood), signed into law in September 2020, created two new classifications of nurse practitioners (NPs)103 and 104 NPs - who can perform certain functions without standardized procedures and protocols in California. The regulations implementing the bill became effective as of January 1, 2023. These regulations set the minimum standards for the law’s "transition to practice" requirements for NPs seeking to apply for licensure under these classifications. NPs can elect, but are not required, to transition to these new classifications. This webinar will provide an overview of the law and regulations, explain under what circumstances 103 and 104 NPs can practice and where, and show how this may impact physicians and patients.
