Gastroenterology
Hematology and medical oncology
Rheumatology
Pulmonary and critical care medicine

The goals of this program are to reduce the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and associated health issues, and to improve the management of selected general, geriatric, pediatric, and ethnic dermatologic conditions and fungal infections of the nail. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1: Assess whether a patient is deficient in vitamin D.
2: Employ vitamin D therapy to lower a patient’s risk for hip and nonvertebral fractures.
3: Summarize recent findings on the potential role of vitamin D in the management of coronary artery disease and cancer.
4: Recognize and treat a variety of dermatologic conditions, including psoriasis, allergic contact dermatitis, Bateman’s purpura, and atopic eczema.
5: Choose the best course of treatment for the patient who presents with onychomycosis (tinea unguium).
