B-6: Health Maintenance on the Fly: Incorporating Evidence-Based Screening & Prevention into Student
Health Visits
Abstract: Many people, especially otherwise young healthy people, do not seek medical care unless they are ill. These acute care visits pose missed opportunities to offer patient education, prevention and screening--the useful health maintenance activities that help keep our students healthy! This presentation will review which health maintenance activities are supported by the evidence and share strategies about implementing these into student health visits.

C-1: Managing Common Upper & Lower GI Problems in Student Health Clinic
Abstract: Both upper and lower GI problems are common enough in college populations. Yet primary care providers do not always have the updated evidence to support cost effective management of these conditions. This presentation will outline evidence based strategies for evaluation and treatment of: GERD, peptic ulcers, non-ulcer dyspepsia, celiac disease, lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome

C-2: First Responder Training for Health Care Providers
Abstract: How do we respond when a patient discloses relationship or sexual violence? What should we say? Aside from treating our patient, what else are we supposed to do? Sometimes the answers to these questions are different than what our gut tells us. We will focus on the role of the first-responder, tips on what to say and do when working with a victim/survivor and provide health care professionals with useful approaches to supporting survivors.
