Participation in common medical procedures (i.e., measurement of vital signs, brief physical exam) is a critical life skill. Many people experience distress and engage in challenging behavior during these procedures. Often, escape extinction is used to force participation for young children. Using escape extinction to force compliance is increasingly criticized by other disciplines and consumers of behavior analytic services. Shaping tolerance to these procedures is a viable alternative that is significantly less intrusive and has fewer side effects compared to escape extinction. Participants will identify and discuss concerns with the use of escape extinction for participation in common medical procedures, define shaping and how its components can be applied to tolerance as a skill, and develop a shaping procedure targeting tolerance of a common medical procedure.

This training will provide an overview of Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), will a focus on how the law works in Maryland. We aim to provide healthcare providers with the information they need to make informed decisions about whether to use this tool in their clinical practice. While healthcare providers can petition for ERPOs, most have not done so, and most do not even know that this tool exists. Attendees will emerge from this training with a better understanding of ERPOs and how they can help keep their patients safe from gun violence.

​​​​​​​Assessing a patient for violence risk is a fundamental part of psychiatric and mental health assessment.  While most violence is unrelated to mental illness and most people with mental illness are not violent, it remains an important point of evaluation in most clinical settings.  Join Jack Rozel, MD, MSL as he explores a how dynamic and modifiable risk factors can be used to manage violence risk, exploring firearm access, and essential considerations for duties to third parties.
