- Short Description:
- Since 2021 there have been human deaths related to rabies in Illinois, Nebraska, and Minnesota. While the canine rabies variant was eradicated from dogs in the U.S. in 2008, rabies variants persist in bats, skunks, wildlife, and occasionally domestic animals in Iowa. While the outcome for any mammal, including a person, is death once the clinical signs of rabies manifest, rabies is 100% preventable after a known exposure before signs develop. Prompt assessment and administration of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is key to preventing human deaths from rabies.

- Despite increasing awareness, eating disorders remain underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in individuals who do not fit the stereotypical presentation. This session explores the systemic, clinical, and cultural barriers that impede equitable access to eating disorder (ED) care, with a focus on the role healthcare providers—particularly osteopathic physicians—play in either reinforcing or dismantling these obstacles. Attendees will examine the pervasive impact of weight stigma in clinical settings, evaluate the limitations of weight-centric models, and be introduced to weight-neutral frameworks that align with osteopathic principles of whole-person care. This session will empower providers to deliver compassionate, inclusive care that prioritizes behavioral health and patient well-being over weight-focused outcomes through case examples, evidence-based strategies, and interactive discussion.
