Moodle at CCNM

Instructor: Dr. Leslie Solomonian, ND, Dr. Laura Batson, NDOriginal Date: November 13th & 27th, 2021This course uses the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study to explore circular systems thinking and core concepts of planetary health. This experiential webinar will explore concepts of decolonization (eg. in healthcare, education, economy, justice, etc.) as a critical approach to the Symbiocene. It will build alignment between principles for planetary health and naturopathic medicine, and highlight roles, methods and models by which naturopathic doctors can engage in promoting health and preventing disease from this framework.This is an applied course; participants should be prepared to actively engage with the material. Core academic concepts and frameworks will be presented and critiqued, then participants will work with the content and co-participants in order to develop skills to collectively propel toward planetary health through the lens of naturopathic practice. Participants will be offered prompts to engage in experiential practices outside of the course time to nurture the embodiment of concepts explored.Learning Objectives: To cultivate an attitude and worldview of circular systems and interconnectedness as it relates to both individual and planetary health and dis-ease (and the reciprocity between the two)To integrate principles from naturopathic philosophy, complex systems theory, and diverse Indigenous traditions to imagine approaches to co-creating a SymbioceneTo build capacity to nurture and advocate (with individuals, at a clinical and community level, and at a planetary level) for health

Are you practicing enough prevention in your own practice? Would your records contain the most important details if your care of a patient were to be scrutinized? With the expansion of power that the naturopathic regulators have, it is important for NDs to become proactive with their recordkeeping and consent discussions with patients to reduce the potential for regulatory and legal risks.   This presentation will provide NDs with an overview of the essentials of defensive record keeping, and how to avoid common record keeping pitfalls that may increase your risk of complaints or lawsuits.   Learning objectives: To learn the common clinical complaints before regulatory colleges and serious decisions that could be made. To respond professionally to College complaints and investigations. To understand essentials of obtaining and documenting informed consent from patients to prevent legal risks. To maintain proactive documentation, and avoid common oversights to prevent risk. To understand consent and custody issues specific to children. To learn when patient information must be disclosed and what steps to take. To comprehend considerations for telemedicine.
