In this convenient online video CME program, faculty cover key clinical subspecialty topics — adrenal, bone health and osteoporosis, cardiovascular endocrinology, diabetes, obesity, thyroid — in case-based discussions that will help improve competence and performance on board review and recertification exams, along with helping to enhance patient outcomes.
The Brigham Board Review and Comprehensive Update in Endocrinology is continuing medical education that will help you to:
- Increase your overall knowledge of endocrine diseases
- Identify and improve knowledge on clinical competence-based practice gaps
- Correlate pathophysiology and pathobiologic principles with clinical presentations
- Describe optimal therapeutic strategies, as well as their risks and benefits
- Apply new knowledge and strategies to the board exam and in daily practice
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Integrate and demonstrate increased overall knowledge of endocrine diseases
- Identify and improve knowledge and clinical competence-based practice gaps in endocrinology
- Correlate pathophysiology and pathobiologic principles with clinical presentations
- Describe optimal therapeutic strategies and their risks and benefits
- Apply the knowledge and strategies gained through participation in this activity to the board exam and daily practice
Intended Audience
This activity was designed for fellows/trainees and practicing endocrinologists and other professional affiliates (internists with an interest in endocrinology) who are preparing to become board certified, maintaining their certification, or who seek CME in an attempt to improve patient care.
