Description:Tick borne diseases have become a public health crisis in endemic areas of the US. As lone star ticks are on the rise, exposure to these tick bites are associated with a delayed allergic reaction to mammalian meat due to development of antibodies to Galactose-alpha-1, 3-galactose or commonly known as alpha gal. It is important for health care providers to identify, diagnose, and manage patients with this allergy and to prevent further tick exposure.
Objectives:
1.) Describe signs, symptoms and diagnosis for the alpha gal IGE meat allergy transmitted by
the lone star tick.
2.) Outline the pathophysiologic process of antigen IgE exposure from Lone Star ticks and corresponding allergic reaction
3.) Describe treatment and management for patients with alpha gal IGE meat allergy.

Description: Implicit biases are attitudes or stereotypes that unconsciously affect our actions, decisions, and understanding. Implicit biases can manifest in the criminal justice system, workplace, school setting, and in the healthcare system. This may range from categories of race, gender, and sexuality. These biases often arise as a result of trying to find patterns and navigate the overwhelming stimuli in this very complicated world. Culture, media, and upbringing can also contribute to the development of such biases. Research reveals effective interventions to reduce these biases.
Objectives:
1.) Describe implicit bias and their possible consequences.
2.) List examples of implicit bias to include stereotypes and microaggressions.
3.) Describe self awareness reflection and strategies to reduce bias.

Description: There are more than 15 million US adults with a history of cancerwho need high quality survivorship care. Medical provider uncertainty and cancer survivorship knowledge gaps continue to persist.
