Event Description

The practice and delivery of health care is changing with an emphasis on improving quality, safety, efficiency and access to care. Telemedicine can help you achieve these goals! The Arizona Telemedicine Program and Southwest Telehealth Resource Center invite you to a free one-hour CME webinar on the implementation and practice of telemedicine.

Envenomations, intoxications and travel-related diseases: More common than you think! What to do

Join us again in our series on envenomations, intoxications and bites in the Southwest. This session will be about kissing bugs. These bloodsucking insects are very common during the months of May-July. Why are these little critters dangerous? They can transmit Chagas disease and cause allergic reactions!

^{This webinar is made possible through funding provided by Health Resources and Services Administration, Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (U1U42527).}
