Dr. Bateman completed her medical training at the Johns Hopkins
School of Medicine, returned to the University of Utah for an internal
medicine residency, and became certified by the American Board of
Internal Medicine in 1991. She practiced general internal medicine until
2000.
In 2000 Dr. Bateman changed her focus, opened a fatigue
consultation clinic in Salt Lake City and has since evaluated more than
800 patients with unexplained chronic fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome
(CFS) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Dr. Bateman believes chronic
fatigue warrants a thorough and cross-disciplinary approach that is
often difficult to do in today's primary care setting.
Dr. Bateman 's goal in establishing her fatigue consultation clinic and
the non-profit, OFFER (Organization for Fatigue and Fibromyalgia
Education and Research), is to encourage a more thoughtful evaluation
process, better sharing of information, and joint research efforts aimed
at understanding the cause(s) of CFS and FM. She has given many
lectures on issues relating to CFS and FM.
In addition to serving on the Board of the International Association
for Chronic Fatigue syndrome (IACFS), she is the co-founder, prior
Executive Director, and present board member of the Utah-based nonprofit, OFFER, and the Chair of Easter Seals Utah. (2005)
“This program is not yet approved for CME credit. Conference
organizers plan to request 2 hours of AAPA Category I CME credit from
the Physician Assistant Review Panel. Total number of approved credits
yet to be determined.”
Seminar objectives:
1) The participant will be able to complete a workup to
screen for causes of chronic fatigue.
2) The participant will be able to apply the case
definitions of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and
Fibromyalgia.
3) The participant will recognize syndrome subsets
and be able to utilize them to form a management
plan.
The International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (IACFS) is
a non-profit organization of research scientists, physicians, other
healthcare professionals, and interested individuals and institutions.
Our mission is to promote, stimulate and coordinate the exchange of
ideas related to CFS and fibromyalgia (FM) research, patient care, and
treatment. Specifically, the IACFS conducts or participates in local,
national and international conferences, both scientific and clinical, in
order to encourage future research ventures and evaluate new CFS and
FM research. In addition, we publish a quarterly newsletter and provide
periodic reviews of current clinical, research and treatment ideas on
CFS/FM for the benefit of CFS and FM patients and others. These
diverse efforts are intended to advance the understanding of CFS and
FM with respect to diagnosis, causation and treatment. The IACFS
plays a critical role in bringing together researchers, clinicians,
government officials and other organizations to focus international
attention on CFS and its public health impact and to stimulate public
and private research funding.
