11th Annual Connecticut Mandates Symposium

Provisions of the Connecticut General Statutes require that physicians applying for license renewal in the state of Connecticut must participate in at least 1 hour of accredited CME in each of the following categories: Infectious Diseases (including, but not limited, to HIV/AIDS); Risk Management (including, but not limited to, controlled substances and pain management); Sexual Assault; Domestic Violence; Cultural Competence; and Behavioral Health, provided further that on and after January 1, 2016, such behavioral health continuing medical education may include, but not be limited to, at least two contact hours of training or education on the topic of mental health conditions common to veterans and family members of veterans.

In collaboration with the New England AIDS Education and Training Center’s Connecticut Local Partner, Yale CME will be providing a training opportunity that meets these state-required topics. Together, the teams have developed this full-day course that will not only meet the state mandated course requirements to be relicensed but will also provide valuable information for physicians and other health care providers in the state.

With the new Routine HIV Testing Law that took effect as of January 1, 2023, it is highly recommended that physicians, physician assistants (PAs), and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) participate in this educational activity to review the latest updates in the aforementioned topics as these topics are required for re-licensure. (For full details on your re-licensure requirements, please contact the CT DPH).

1. Discuss the latest recommendations and updates for HIV prevention and care.
2. Apply current recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of sexually transmitted infections.
3. Discuss current recommendations for viral hepatitis prevention, screening, and care.
4. Identify current evidence-based strategies for the prevention and care of substance use disorders.
