Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, remitting-relapsing inflammatory skin condition that is characterized by intensely pruritic (itchy) and dry, scaly lesions. AD is one of the most common paediatric skin disorders, and disease onset occurs in 85 to 90 percent of Canadian children before age 5. Among children and youth with AD, almost three-fifths have mild to moderate disease, which can be managed by a paediatrician or other primary care practitioners.

Learning Objectives
After completing this online module, you will be able to:

• Describe the diagnostic process for paediatric atopic dermatitis (AD)
• Describe the non-pharmacologic management of AD
• Describe the different first-line pharmacologic therapies for AD
• Assess when specialist referral may be appropriate/necessary
• Enhance patient/parent education and counselling to optimize treatment adherence

COVID-19 Healthcare Cybersecurity eLearning

On Demand Available all year

The COVID-19 crisis provides the perfect opportunity for socially engineered cyber attacks. During this crisis there has been a dramatic surge in cyber attacks against hospitals, physicians and healthcare professionals.

With the move to virtual care due to quarantining and social distancing, the vulnerability of our Canadian healthcare system is at an all-time high.

To help support health professionals manage this increased risk, Saegis has released a free eLearning course to Canadian physicians and their healthcare teams.

Here are the links for registration

About the Saegis Shield Program

• Physicians, nurses and other providers
• Clinic directors, administrators, managers and staff

How does Saegis Shield work?

Saegis Shield is a subscription-based awareness and education program that is affordable and user-friendly. Healthcare professionals, physicians, and staff simply log in to the program and are provided with:

• A measure of individual and organizational readiness to prevent, recognize and manage costly breaches
• A summary of the current level of cyber risk in the healthcare environment

Saegis Shield - Saegis Home Page

Saegis Shield also provides cybersecurity and privacy resources including templates, breach reports, posters and tools to help fully equip your healthcare team and support adherence to privacy regulations.
