Public health partners around the State are trying to gather more information on the knowledge of dengue fever among practicing physicians. This information will help us identify what type of public health interventions will be of most benefit in and around Arizona.  

Below is a link to a survey on dengue fever for practicing clinicians. The survey is anonymous, very short, and only takes a few minutes of your time. At the end, we will provide additional information on dengue fever, as well as continuing education options related to dengue fever. We would very much appreciate you taking a few minutes of your time to complete this brief survey.

Here is the survey link:

Eligible professionals now have until 11:59 pm ET on March 20, 2015, to attest to meaningful use for the Medicare Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program 2014 reporting year.

CMS extended the deadline to allow providers extra time to submit their meaningful use data. CMS continues to urge providers to begin attesting for 2014 as soon as they can.

This extension also allows eligible professionals, who have not already used their one "switch," to switch programs (from Medicare to Medicaid, or vice versa) for the 2014 payment year until 11:59 pm ET on March 20, 2015. After that time, eligible professionals will no longer be able to switch programs.

The Maricopa County Medical Society has numerous committees designed to carry out specific missions that help support the practice of medicine. These committees help bring our members together, provide educational materials and announcements, and advance strategic initiatives that serve the physician community.  

Interested in policy making? We have a policy committee. Is quality and education your passion? If so, we have a committee for that, too! Our committees include membership, public health, finance, social, philanthropy, mentorship, education & quality, and policy.   

How much time does it take? Not much, actually. Most of our committees have a teleconference one a month or once a quarter, and usually need an hour or less to discuss business.

The Society staff carries out much of the work directed by the committees, so the time required by you will be little.

To help understand the molecular mechanisms behind Alzheimer's disease, the ASU School of Nutrition and Health Promotion is recruiting volunteers who are at least 50 years old.

This 8-week trial will examine how restoring vitamin D status affects beta amyloid peptide clearance from the brain to the blood. Volunteer participation includes 2 fasting blood draws within 8 weeks and consumption of a vitamin D or placebo supplement once a week for 8 weeks. The Institutional Review Board of Arizona State University has approved this research.  

ASU intends to enroll about 40 participants and has begun the recruiting process.

If you are interested in assisting ASU with the recruitment phase or wish to find out more information, you may contact the investigator, Brendan Miller, by email (Brendan.Miller@asu.edu) or by phone (480-580-0099).
