SUMMARY:2020 Psychopharmacology 2-Day Conference
DESCRIPTION:Spend two action-packed days learning about the newest advances in psychopharmacology and contemporary trends in medication management. From his unique perspective\, Dr. Perry Buffington teaches psychopharmacology thoughtfully\, with an emphasis on the experience of the client. Dr. Buffington’s years of experience in mental health and passion for clients\, shines through in the detail and thoroughness of his presentation. \nClients often only have a few minutes with their prescriber and require additional support. It’s vital that you are able to answer their questions\, help manage side effects and understand reactions. Designed for counselors\, nurses\, psychotherapists\, psychologists\, and other mental health professionals\, Dr. Buffington provides the information you need in order to best help your clients. \nThis conference allows time for exploration of underrepresented areas\, including ADHD\, substance use disorders and psychopharmacological ethics. Take home specialized guidelines for geriatrics\, and clients with chronic pain. Discuss how the DSM-5® and the Affordable Healthcare Law have impacted prescribing patterns and the use of psychotropics in newly defined diagnoses. In addition to a general ‘nuts and bolts’ review of medications\, you will examine case examples\, discuss medication controversies and how to effectively collaborate with prescribing practitioners. You will find this conference to have the most up-to-date medication information and how to use it most effectively with your client.

SUMMARY:Medications: Drug-Induced Dysphagia\, Complications\, and Potential Treatments
DESCRIPTION:The therapist can have a tremendous impact in this area of adverse drug reactions\, potentially preventing or reducing drug-induced dysphagia and complications from side-effects of medications. Part of our job is to dig through a patient’s medical record to uncover what could potentially be the underlying cause(s) of the symptom of dysphagia (Sheffler\, 2014). Dysphagia is not a disease in-and-of-itself; therefore\, ittakes a collaborative effort with the medical team to revealwhat is causing the dysphagia. One common cause could be iatrogenic (unintended adverse complications or side-effectsfrom a treatment\, such as intubations or medications). Medications may be an overlooked reason for iatrogenic complications such as dysphagia\, pneumonia\, confusion\, and falls. \nA medical record review should include the potentialimpact of medications\, according to the clinical guidelines set forth by both the American Speech-Language HearingAssociation (per ASHA’s Practice Portal)\, as well as the clinical guidelines set by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (per RCSLT.org). Our thorough medical record review has a big impact. The Health and Social Care Information Centre in England found that 15% of hospital admissions of people with dementia with dysphagia could be prevented by contributions from a speech-language pathologist. Part of our prevention is identifying at risk patients who are on medications that could be contributing to aspiration and/or choking risks. Ruschena\, et al. (2003) noted that the risk for choking in people with schizophrenia is higher due to the combination of the disease itself and the use of antipsychotics. When SLPs are aware of the risksacross a wide variety of diseases and disorders\, steps can be taken to maximize patient safety (including trying to make oral intake potentially safer).
