Internet Enduring Material Sponsored by the Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by Stanford Prevention Research Center and the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine

This CME activity focuses on the science of e-cigarettes – particularly health risks and benefits. Based on observed patterns in questions from real patients and answers from practicing physicians, we emphasize potential health impacts of e-cigarettes and regulated alternatives such as nicotine replacement therapy. Opportunities focus on special issues related to youth and use by patients in perioperative phase, cancer treatment or cardiovascular disease treatment. Online learners are engaged through interactive video role-play, expert interviews, and interactive activities.

This course is designed for physicians in cardiology, family practice, primary care, general surgery, internal medicine, oncology, pediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, and nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, clinical psychologists, tobacco treatment specialists (TTS) as well as other licensed addiction treatment providers.

The Stanford University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The Stanford University School of Medicine designates this enduring material for a maximum of 1.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

The California Board of Registered Nursing recognizes that Continuing Medical Education (CME) is acceptable for meeting RN continuing education requirements as long as the course is certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ (rn.ca.gov). Nurses will receive a Certificate of Participation following this activity that may be used for license renewal.

Stanford University School of Medicine has received and has used undesignated program funding from Pfizer, Inc. to facilitate the development of innovative CME activities designed to enhance physician competence and performance and to implement advanced technology. A portion of this funding supports this activity.

California Assembly Bill 1195 requires continuing medical education activities with patient care components to include curriculum in the subjects of cultural and linguistic competency. It is the intent of the bill, which went into effect July 1, 2006, to encourage physicians and surgeons, CME providers in the State of California and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to meet the cultural and linguistic concerns of a diverse patient population through appropriate professional development. The planners and speakers of this CME activity have been encouraged to address cultural issues relevant to their topic area. The Stanford University School of Medicine Multicultural Health Portal also contains many useful cultural and linguistic competency tools including culture guides, language access information and pertinent state and federal laws.
