Program Summary

Primary care providers face complex challenges everyday in their busy practices. With rapid changes in medicine, staying informed about new developments can be equally challenging. Our goal in this CME activity is to help you hone your skills in the diagnosis and management of patients with varied conditions you are likely encountering in your practice. Topics to be addressed will include: heart failure, hypercholesterolemia, pulmonary arterial hypertension, diabetes, ADHD in adults, and value based health care.

We have recruited a faculty of well-known thought leaders and experienced teachers who, as clinicians themselves, understand the challenges you face every day as a primary care provider. Our faculty will be at your disposal to provide evidence-based science, current treatment guidelines, discuss challenging cases, and provide answers for you that can ultimately lead to better health care for your patients. The presentations will include several interactive cases and discussion sessions to keep you actively learning.

Please join us and become an active participant in this one-day learning community of your peers.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
Know the risk factors for heart failure and the role of biomarkers in diagnosis and treatment; Recognize the importance of heart rate in cardiovascular risk of heart failure; Utilize the most recent clinical evidence to inform their decisions for the management of heart failure; Identify approaches to facilitate early recognition and optimization of heart failure management ; Describe pathophysiologic factors contributing to increased risk of heart failure among African Americans and other ethnic minorities.

Discuss the benefits of LDL-C lowering with pharmacologic therapies that improve cardiovascular outcomes; Define the appropriate use of non-statin medications in addition to statin therapy; Discuss the role of anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody therapy in LDL-C reduction to achieve cardiovascular risk reduction; Recognize and develop appropriate treatment strategies for special populations (women, elderly, ethnic minorities) that would benefit from lipid lowering therapy.

Explain the pathophysiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); Determine when PAH should be suspected and how to determine the specific etiology including the importance of right heart catheterization and ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan; Define parameters that determine the severity of PAH; Review of treatments and how to appropriately refer and follow patients receiving treatment for PA.

Recognize the role of postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients not at target and examine its role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications; Utilize glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) therapy to address post-prandial hyperglycemia in ways current fixed dose strategies do not; Compare GLP-1 RAs for glycemic efficacy and differential impact on postprandial glycemic control; Discuss various GLP-1 RA combination strategies to effectively control fasting and post-prandial hyperglycemia .

Describe ADHD symptom profiles and common presentations in a primary care setting; Identify risks for coexisting disorders in adult patients with ADHD with emphasis on anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and substance use/abuse disorders; Implement appropriate pharmacologic treatment for adults diagnosed with ADHD designed to improve compliance, minimize side effects and maximize outcomes in a busy primary care setting; Use adult ADHD assessment and treatment tools for assessment, treatment and follow-up monitoring.

Gain a better comprehension of recent changes to reimbursement; Understand how reimbursement changes may impact your medical practice; Incorporate tools into your practice to better meet changing reimbursement models.
