Let's Talk about Death on Tax Day
In 1789 Benjamin Franklin famously wrote, "Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." So in honor of this idiom, we're going to discuss death on tax day, April 15th.
DEATH AND TAXES: Stop stressing, let us help you! (with death, not taxes)
Join UAFP and Dr. Deirdre Amaro, Chief Medical Examiner from the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner to discuss the final act of care you can perform for your patients - filling out their death certificates.
This free one hour CME* will provide family physicians and other primary care clinicians an overview of the function of the OME, which deaths fall under the purview of the OME, and which fall under the purview of the patient's physician. This presentation will help clarify the process of completing a death certificate for your patients and how the OME and family physicians can work together to serve the community.
WHEN: Tuesday, April 15, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
WHERE: Zoom (link provided with registration)
WHO: Family physicians and other primary care clinicians who practice in Utah
Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:
- Differentiate Cause versus Manner of death
- Identify the types of deaths that fall under Medical Examiner jurisdiction
- Recognize the Office of the Medical Examiner as a consultative resource
- Recognize the broader implications of death certification for Public Health
