E-Learning | Depression: an Integrative approach

Build on your integrative knowledge, in this course focused on addressing patients with depression. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), in 2020, one in five adults in the US reported a diagnosis of depression by their health provider. Depression is a major contributor to morbidity, mortality, and economic cost. It cuts across socioeconomic boundaries, race, age, and gender and is associated with serious comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, chronic pain, diabetes, and substance abuse.

Within conventional practice, the combined use of antidepressant medications and psychotherapy has been considered the standard recommendation for the treatment of all patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Increasingly, however, the reliance on medications has been questioned in the scientific literature.

For patients to have access to safe and evidence-based integrative approaches, a shift in focus and priorities of funding within the society as a whole are needed. Given the significant impact of depression on patients’ lives, safer and more efficacious therapeutic approaches to depression are urgently needed, a fact that has lent momentum to the development of integrative approaches to this complex illness. Expand your ability to support your patients with an integrative approach to depression.

Accreditatie
De volledige term van de AMA punten is AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, dit is de meest algemeen geaccepteerde vorm van CME punten (Continual Medical Education) , oftewel nascholingspunten voor medisch professionals. Deze punten worden in de VS toegekend aan artsen, verpleegkundigen, apothekers en andere zorgverleners wanneer zij bij- en nascholingen volgen om hun kennis en vaardigheden up-to-date te houden. Afhankelijk van je eigen beroepsvereniging zijn deze punten om te zetten naar Nederlandse accreditatiepunten. Deze aanvraag kun jezelf bij je beroepsvereniging doen. Elke beroepsvereniging behandelt deze aanvraag op eigen wijze.

AVIG: Deze e-learning is voor 7.25 punten algemeen medische nascholing (AMN), integrale nascholing (IG) of natuurgeneeskunde nascholing (NG) naar keuze bij de AVIG geaccrediteerd.

KNMG: Voor huisartsen, medische specialisten en andere artsen: Ondanks dat deze elearning voor Amerikaanse artsen geaccrediteerd is, heeft de KNMG geen accreditatiepunten toegekend. Wel is het mogelijk -zoals vaker bij internationale scholingen/congressen- om met het Amerikaanse certificaat dat je per mail ontvangt, bij je eigen wetenschappelijke vereniging een individueel verzoek tot accreditatie in te dienen.
