Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Module 3: Recognition, Treatment and Support in One’s Practice

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Module 3: Recognition, Treatment and Support in One’s Practice

Welcome to this Web-Based Continuing Medical Education (CME) / Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courseware program entitled Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Module 3: Recognition, Treatment and Support in One's Practise. This is the third module of the 3 Part Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) series being offered at MDcme.

Understanding FASD in the context of providing primary medical care to patients and their families is important if good care is to be the standard. Family physicians are often, if not usually, the first place parents and individuals turn in the quest for accurate diagnosis of issues they may be facing, and a major source of ongoing support for these issues. This program provides some important basic information on what to expect and ways to provide better care for complex patients and families.

After completing this module, you should be able to:

  • Demonstrate awareness of the issues affecting the provision of good medical care for patients with a diagnosis of FASD
  • Demonstrate knowledge of when to consider the possibility of an undiagnosed FASD in patients
  • Describe basic ways to adapt health care practices to provide more effective care and support
  • Demonstrate increased confidence in your ability to communicate and interact with patients with FASD and their families

This program was supported in part by educational funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada.

MDcme (on behalf of its consortium partners) protects the privacy of personal and other information regarding course registrants. MDcme will not release personally identifiable information to a third party without an individual's consent, except such information as is required for reporting purposes to the body or bodies accrediting this course for continuing education study credits. MDcme collects and reviews all course data (registration/course completion statistics, pre/post-test and satisfaction survey) to determine if a course meets participants' learning needs. Data is reviewed to improve existing courses and to inform the development of future course offerings. If an evaluation report is provided to a third party, all data is summarized, with no participant identifying information included. Given the importance and potential impact of some courses, evaluation data may be presented and/or published in academic venues. Again, this data is always summarized, with no identifying information included.

At times, a contributing/partner organization involved in a course may request individual participant data from pre/post or evaluation surveys for quality improvement or educational research purposes. This data would be de-identified so would not be associated with any personally identifiable information such as your name, profession, city, etc.

If requested by a contributing/partner organization:
