Full Description

Urgent Care Association (UCA) and the College of Urgent Care Medicine (CUCM), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), co-present a webinar on acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), a serious neurologic condition that affects the nervous system, specifically the gray matter of the spinal cord, causing paralysis.

AFM can progress rapidly and lead to respiratory failure, and most cases have been in children. In this webinar, panelists review what we know about AFM in the United States so far, clinical presentation and initial evaluation of patients with AFM, as well as the diagnostic workup and patient management considerations for suspected AFM, so that urgent care providers and other clinicians are better equipped to recognize AFM rapidly and provide appropriate care for their patients.
