In addition to providing you with the latest IC research and treatment news, the ICA also offers educational programs so physicians and other healthcare providers can learn about the most current approaches to diagnosis and management of IC. Some of these educational tools also carry CME/CEU/CE credit for physicians, physicians’ assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and other providers.
The ICA in partnership with the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (ARHP) offers a comprehensive medical education (CME) program, Screening, Treatment, and Management of Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome (IC/PBS).
Developed in concert with an expert advisory panel, this course (accredited for 1 hour of CME/CEU/CE) includes carefully developed components to meet healthcare providers' and patients' needs for education. Check out the evidence-based program materials:
- Consensus Meeting on Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome: A Multidisciplinary Meeting of Researchers, Clinicians, and Patients
- Slide set available free at ARHP’s open-access tool, the Curricula Organizer for Reproductive Health Education (CORE)
- Monograph: ARHP Clinical Proceedings
- Quick Reference Guide for Clinicians, Diagnosis and Management of Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome
- Healthcare Provider Fact Sheet: What You Need to Know, Understanding Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome
- Patient Fact Sheets:
- Webinars: Archived sessions
Made possible through an independent educational grant from Ortho-McNeil Women's Health and Urology.
The first in a series of online ICA medical education tools to help you become familiar with all aspects of IC, this presentation was edited by ICA Founder and President Emeritus Vicki Ratner, MD.
Download this PowerPoint presentation for a comprehensive overview of the etiology, natural history, diagnosis, treatment, and impact of IC. This program was paid for by an educational grant from the Medtronic Foundation.
