Treating Depression in Primary Care
Date/Time: May 24, 2012, 1-2:30 p.m. (EDT)
Overview Depression is a common medical condition impacting approximately 10 percent of Americans in a given year. Depression accounts for one of every five visits to primary care settings and is associated with various types of chronic illness (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, HIV, cancer), pain conditions and neurological disorders. Primary care settings offer an opportunity for early identification and intervention. Research has suggested that primary care settings, which incorporate screening, treatment and symptom monitoring of patients, are likely to improve patient care. This webinar will discuss the prevalence of depression, screening tools and interventions that can be used by health care providers treating patients in primary care settings.

CEUs/CMEs: To allow participants to register up until the start of the webinar, CEUs/CMEs will not be available immediately. At the end of the each DCoE CEU/CME webinar, participants will be provided with the URL and date that the website will open. In addition, on the day that the site is open, all participants who registered will receive an email alert to log in to the site for their CEUs/CMEs.
Technical Platform: In an effort to support all guests whose network security settings may limit access to various internet sites, we will simultaneously host webinars via two technical platforms.
