Part I: Cutaneous manifestations of cardiovascular disease
In this part 1 of a 2-part continuing medical education series, we review the epidemiology and pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease, its association with cutaneous symptoms, and the diagnosis and evaluation of cutaneous features of cardiovascular syndromes, including infective endocarditis, acute  rheumatic fever, Kawasaki disease, cholesterol embolization syndrome, lipid disorders, cardiac amyloidosis, and cardiac myxomas. As the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases increase, dermatologists play an essential role in recognizing the cutaneous manifestations of cardiovascular diseases in order to appro...

Part II: Cutaneous manifestations of peripheral vascular disease
In this Part 2 of a 2-part continuing medical education series, we review the epidemiology of peripheral vascular disease, its association with cutaneous symptoms, and the diagnosis and evaluation of cutaneous features of vascular disorders. As peripheral vascular disease becomes more prevalent globally, it is essential for dermatologists to become competent at accurately recognizing and diagnosing cutaneous manifestations and directing individuals to receive appropriate care and treatment.

Paraneoplastic Pemphigus/Paraneoplastic Autoimmune Multiorgan Syndrome: Part II. Diagnosis and Management
In the second part of this Continuing Medical Education article on paraneoplastic pemphigus/paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (PNP/PAMS), its diagnostic criteria, investigative work-up, and management are reviewed. PNP/PAMS is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder associated with high morbidity and mortality. Recognizing PNP/PAMS ’s key features and its diagnostic criteria is critical in initiating appropriate work-up. Evaluating PNP/PAMS requires knowledge of its findings on histopathology, direct immunofluorescence, indirect immunofluorescence, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Implementing patient safety and quality improvement in dermatology. Part 2: Quality improvement science
Quality improvement (QI) in medicine is reliant on a team-based approach and an understanding of core QI principles. Part 2 of this continuing medical education series outlines the steps of performing a QI project, from identifying QI opportunities, to carrying out successive Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, to hard-wiring improvements into the system. QI frameworks will be explored and readers will understand how to interpret basic QI data.

Financing Graduate Medical Education to Meet the Needs of Children and the Future Pediatrician Workforce
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) believes that an appropriately financed graduate medical education (GME) system is critical to ensuring that sufficient numbers of trained pediatricians are available to provide optimal health care to all children. A shortage of pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists currently exists in the United States, and this shortage is likely to intensify because of the growing numbers of children with chronic health problems and special health care needs. It is equally important to maintain the supply of primary care pediatricians. The AAP, therefore, recommends ...

Training US health care professionals on human trafficking: where do we go from here?
Authors: Powell C, Dickins K, Stoklosa H Abstract Some 21 million adults and children are labor-trafficked or sex-trafficked through force, fraud, or coercion. In recognition of the interface between trafficking victims and the healthcare setting, over the last 10 years there has been a notable increase in training of health care professionals (HCPs) on human trafficking (HT) and its health implications. Many organizations have developed curricula and offered training in various clinical settings. However, methods and content of this education on trafficking vary widely, and there is little evaluation of the impact...

Compassionate care: Enhancing physician–patient communication and education in dermatology: Part II: Patient education
Patient education is a fundamental part of caring for patients. A practice gap exists, where patients want more information, while health care providers are limited by time constraints or difficulty helping patients understand or remember. To provide patient-centered care, it is important to assess the needs and goals, health beliefs, and health literacy of each patient. This allows health care providers to individualize education for patients. The use of techniques, such as gaining attention, providing clear and memorable explanations, and assessing understanding through “teach-back,” can improve patient education. Ve...

Compassionate care: Enhancing physician–patient communication and education in dermatology: Part I: Patient-centered communication
The motivation for developing patient-centered communication stems from a desire to enhance the quality of patient care, fulfill professional competency requirements, reduce medical errors, and improve health outcomes and patient satisfaction. Patient-centered communication skills can optimize the physician–patient relationship without significantly prolonging office visits. We propose a series of practical and generally effective techniques for verbal and nonverbal communication. We also suggest a targeted approach for specific difficult conversations that may occur frequently in the practice of dermatology.
