Human trafficking can affect patients of all ages, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Being able to identify risk factors, red flags, clinical clues, and evidence-based treatment options can make a difference to your patients, your practice, and healthcare organizations, but most importantly, the victims of trafficking. This presentation will discuss important information for all clinicians and will have applications to all specialties. The medical care of patients who are or have been involved in trafficking will be the focus of this presentation.

This activity will provide an update on what every PA needs to know about HIV in 2025. While HIV medicine has evolved significantly during the past four decades, over 35,000 HIV infections occur annually in the U.S. The epidemiology continues to change with infections disproportionately affecting residents of southern states, people of color, and sexual and gender minorities. Clinical guidelines incorporate screening for HIV into routine medical care. Prevention continues to expand with increased utilization of antiretroviral-mediated prevention, including preexposure prophylaxis and treatment as prevention, with new long-acting injectable medication options. Long-term survivors face new complications, including certain cancers and inflammatory-mediated disease. While HIV can be considered a chronic disease, the societal stigma surrounding this disease requires that providers approach HIV with a unique perspective. Cases of long-term HIV remission continue to provide hope for a pathway toward a cure.

The U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women has just released a national protocol for the medical and forensic examination and treatment of those who have experienced intimate partner violence. This helps to standardize what has long been a very subjective process. This lecture will provide, a discussion on this new protocol, updated details on the epidemiology of intimate partner violence (IPV), the psychology of IPV, and the provision of trauma and violence-informed care.

This podcast explores the vital role of nutrition in optimizing athletic performance. This talk delves into the fundamental metabolic processes that underpin sports nutrition, providing a clear understanding of how the body utilizes nutrients during exercise. Participants will gain actionable nutritional recommendations tailored for competitive athletes, covering pre-, during, and post-workout fueling strategies. We'll also discuss common nutritional supplements and ergogenic aids, offering evidence-based advice to navigate their use safely and effectively. This session empowers clinicians with the knowledge to make informed recommendations, maximizing performance and overall well-being.

Pain management can be difficult not only for patients but for the provider as well. This session will review the basics of pain: physical, emotional, and spiritual. The faculty will offer a step-wise approach for managing pain in the non-surgical adult patient, which will include pharmacologic therapies, non-pharmacologic therapies, complementary/alternative medicine therapies, and interventional therapies. By the end of the session, PAs will be eager to play a pivotal role in helping patients through a difficult, and often distressing symptom.

Positive Discourse equips PAs with practical skills to ensure effective, patient-centered communication when caring for individuals who have speech, language, hearing, auditory-processing, or vision-related communication disabilities. Using case examples, prevalence data, and a five-step framework (“Communicate directly, Ask preferences, Adapt style, Be patient, Check understanding”), the course shows how simple adjustments (plain-language explanations, assistive-technology use, interpreter coordination, and culturally sensitive approaches) can reduce medical errors and improve patient satisfaction. Developed in partnership with clinicians and self-advocates, the content aligns with ADA requirements and AAPA competencies.

Melanoma is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S. Before 2011, treatment options for individuals diagnosed with advanced melanoma were limited with a five-year overall survival rate of approximately 10%. Since 2011, significant progress has been made with FDA approval of nearly 20 treatment options resulting in a five-year overall survival rate of more than 50%. This presentation will focus on recent updates for treating advanced melanoma.
