Special considerations for pediatric, geriatric and complex fractures will be discussed. Through case-based discussions, this session will equip clinicians with attendeese will gain knowledge to optimize patient outcomes and avoid common pitfalls in fracture care.

A fragility fracture occurs every three seconds worldwide. However, appropriate identification and treatment of osteoporosis post-fracture rarely occurs with approximately 80% of individuals falling into this gap of care following a fragility fracture. Barriers and misconceptions exist in caring for this “silent” condition that carries high morbidity and mortality rates. This program will aid the clinician in navigating through the variety of guidelines and essential clinical pearls to appropriately identify at-risk individuals, educate patients on lifestyle interventions, and select the optimal agent based on individualized risk assessment and shared medical decision-making to include antiresorptive and anabolic agents, drug holidays, and transitioning between agents.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as NAFLD, is now the most common chronic liver disease worldwide and a rising cause of cirrhosis and liver-related mortality. Primary care providers are at the forefront of identifying patients at risk. Yet recognition, staging, and management remain inconsistent. This dynamic session will equip clinicians with the tools to understand the new terminology and diagnostic criteria for MASLD and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and incorporate simple, evidence-based risk stratification strategies (including FIB-4 and non-invasive fibrosis assessments) into routine practice. Clinicians will navigate the application of lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions to slow progression and reduce metabolic risk, while recognizing when to refer to hepatology. By the end of the session, participants will feel confident screening, counseling, and coordinating care for patients with MASLD/MASH in the primary care setting.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasingly recognized as a staged autoimmune disease with opportunities for earlier detection and intervention. This program equips primary care providers with practical knowledge to identify at-risk patients, apply staging criteria, recognize early warning signs, and understand emerging therapies such as disease-modifying immunotherapy. Patients will leave with actionable strategies and resources to improve screening, referral, and long-term outcomes in patients with or at risk for T1D.

Hyperthyroidism presents unique diagnostic and management challenges in the primary care setting. This CME session will guide clinicians through recognizing the signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism, categorizing common causes, and applying appropriate screening and diagnostic strategies to facilitate accurate diagnosis through judicious testing strategies. Participants will also analyze treatment options tailored to underlying etiology while incorporating shared medical decision-making to optimize patient outcomes. Throughout this dynamic case-based program, we will incorporate clinical pearls and common mistakes in identifying, diagnosing, treating, and monitoring thyroid disease.

What????...a new STD? Not really, but many clinicians need to know much more about Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), often called Mgen. It is a bacterial infection of growing concern in sexual health. Understanding MG is crucial for effective patient care. MG is a sexually transmitted bacterium responsible for various urogenital infections. Its unique characteristics, such as antibiotic resistance and asymptomatic carriage, pose challenges for diagnosis and treatment. We'll delve into the prevalence of MG nationally and globally and its association with symptoms like urethritis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Promoting sexual health and encouraging male screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is a critical skill for all providers. Many STIs present asymptomatically in males, making routine screening essential for early detection and treatment. Common barriers that may prevent males from seeking STI screening, such as stigma, misconceptions, and lack of awareness, and understanding these barriers is key to developing effective strategies for promoting screening uptake. Attendees will also gain insights into communication strategies that foster a comfortable environment for discussing sensitive topics related to male sexual and reproductive health, ensuring improved patient outcomes.

This presentation will provide healthcare professionals with an in-depth understanding of the most prevalent sexual and reproductive health issues affecting males. We will explore a range of conditions, including sexual dysfunction, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), prostate health, infertility, and other shared concerns. We will give special attention to pharmacological interventions, lifestyle modifications, and multidisciplinary approaches to care. Attendees will gain valuable insights into tailoring individualized, evidence-based treatment plans, monitoring progress, managing complex cases, and ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
