"Orofacial Manifestations of Systemic Diseases"
Course Objectives
Oral cavity is readily accessible for inspection and a gateway for
assessment of general health. In fact, many systemic conditions affecting
organs far from the head and neck region could manifest in the orofacial region,
sometimes prior to their diagnosis. Abnormalities detected in the orofacial
region may also represent complications related to medical therapy or raise
concerns about substance abuse. This program provides illustrative examples of
orofacial findings associated with diagnosed or subjectively silent systemic
disease, medical therapy and substance abuse. Relevant signs, symptoms, and
diagnostics are reviewed and the potential role of oral health care providers in
recognition, referral, follow-up and overall management is emphasized.

If you’re looking for real-life examples of job accommodations that have helped other workers, USDOL’s Job Accommodation Network (JAN) has you covered. JAN’s Situations and Solutions Finder contains accommodation scenarios across a wide range of workplaces and industries, searchable by disability, limitation, and occupation. Keep in mind that the Situations and Solutions Finder provides general ideas for accommodations but isn’t comprehensive and doesn’t give a solution for every unique situation. For specific guidance, contact JAN directly at askjan.org.
“Inclusive hiring” means that at every stage of the hiring process, people with disabilities have equitable access. Inclusive hiring is not only good for people with disabilities, but is also great for business. The USDOL Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN) is highlighting actionable ways employers can implement inclusive hiring practices. From accessible job descriptions and announcements to inclusive interviewing and onboarding experiences, EARN’s resources help organizations of all sizes build an inclusive workplace from the start.
