"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.

IRS Updates Resources for Tax-Exempt Entities

Sep 4, 2025

Per the notice below, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued updated resources for tax-exempt entities to maintain their tax-exempt status.

Updated Stay Exempt resources on IRS.gov

Stay Exempt, the IRS’s online resource for tax-exempt organizations, is updated and available at IRS.gov/Stay-Exempt. This content is no longer available at StayExempt.IRS.gov, where it was previously. Stay Exempt is an educational resource developed by the IRS to help current and prospective tax-exempt organizations understand and maintain their tax-exempt status. Designed primarily for nonprofit leaders, board members, and volunteers, training modules, tutorials, and informative materials that cover topics such as applying for tax-exempt status, annual filing requirements, and compliance responsibilities are available.

Here’s what you can expect:

Centralized Location – All Stay Exempt content is now directly available on IRS.gov, without the need to navigate to a separate site.
Updated Design – The refreshed layout makes it easier to find the training resources and compliance information you need.
Improved Access – Content is optimized for mobile devices.

Please update your bookmarks to reflect the new location. For the latest exempt organization news, connect via IRS Social Media and subscribe to this and other IRS Newsletters. If you have a technical or procedural question about Exempt Organizations, visit the Charities and Nonprofits homepage on IRS.gov. If you have a specific question about exempt organizations, please contact us.
