CME/CE Info

Shifting the Treatment Paradigm of Weight Management and T2D in Primary Care:

Goal Statement
To improve the knowledge, competence, and performance of primary care physicians, NPs, and PAs in application of evidence-based practices to optimize early treatment for patients with T2D and overweight/obesity to improve long-term outcomes.

Target Audience
US primary care physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician associates/physician assistants (PAs)

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Modify treatment regimens according to the latest evidence and guideline recommendations that reflect the importance of early therapy intensification to meet individualized needs of patients with T2D
  • Select the most appropriate incretin-based therapies for the treatment of patients with overweight or obesity and T2D
  • Apply patient-centered strategies that address sustained weight loss as a primary treatment target for T2D

 

Managing Elevated LDL-C Levels to Reduce ASCVD Risk: Primary and Secondary Prevention:

Program Overview
Join us for an interactive presentation where leading experts provide insight on management of elevated LDL-C levels to reduce ASCVD risk in the primary care setting. Learn about guideline recommendations and treatment options, including non-statin therapies.

Goal Statement
The goal of this program is to improve the knowledge and competence of primary care clinicians who manage patients with elevated LDL-C levels to reduce ASCVD risk.

Target Audience
The intended audience for this educational initiative is primary care clinicians who are responsible for identifying patients that would benefit from LDL-C lowering and for initiating and intensifying primary and secondary prevention.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Assess the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of non-statin agents approved to manage LDL-C levels.
  • Devise individualized evidence-based primary prevention plans for patients with elevated LDL-C levels.
  • Develop personalized strategies for secondary prevention for patients with elevated LDL-C levels using evidence-based guidelines.
  • Escalate treatment of elevated LDL-C levels by incorporating approved non-statin agents when statins alone do not achieve 2018 blood cholesterol guideline goals.
