Chest Pain Evaluation: Red Herring or the Real Deal? (Rx=0.50)
Chest pain is one of the most common chief complaints to the emergency departments, with a definitive diagnosis elusive in most cases. However, who gets to be sent home? Who requires admission? This presentation addresses those questions by reviewing the challenges in delineating cardiac vs. non-cardiac chest pain. A heavy emphasis will be placed on risk stratification methodologies for patients with suspected cardiac chest pain and an evidence-based approach to the initial evaluation. Finally, this presentation will review optimal testing strategies for cardiac and non-cardiac etiologies of chest pain, including current controversies and guidelines.
Thinking Beyond COVID: Pulmonary Cases From the Wards
This presentation will provide an overview of different types of respiratory cases in hospitals and clinics. Topics will range from common to complex and include an overview of mechanisms, pathophysiology, diagnostic considerations, and up-to-date treatment protocols. Emphasis will be placed on respiratory failure, oxygen supplementation techniques, indications/contraindications for using NIPPV, COPD, and infectious etiologies. Finally, this presentation will provide an overview of acute respiratory distress syndrome, focusing on diagnostic criteria and a review of evidence-based treatment guidelines.
Acute & Chronic Kidney Disease: Seeking Better Outcomes (Rx=0.50)
With kidney disease on the rise, the patient presenting to the emergency department with different types of kidney injury (acute and chronic) will continue to increase. This case-based presentation will allow participants to confidently assess and classify patients with suspected kidney injury, identify the most common precipitants of acute kidney injury, differentiate between acute and chronic disease, and understand the first-line therapy for the treatment of acute kidney injury. Indications for urgent dialysis will also be reviewed.
Syncope: What You Don’t Know Can Harm You
This presentation will review the common cause of syncope and the pathophysiologic mechanisms that commonly lead to syncope. With a focus on initial evaluation and management, this presentation will review the guidelines and risk stratification tools available to aid in diagnosis. Finally, this presentation will provide an evidence-based approach to disposition and follow-up.

Treating Obesity Can Treat the Heart and Much More: 200+ Obesity Complications
In this course, the speaker utilizes case studies and reviews the explanation of how obesity is at the root of 236 obesity-associated disorders. Pathophysiology of the disease of obesity and its consequences, with an explanation of treatment that targets obesity and the complications, is also to be discussed.
Cardiometabolic Treatment for Obesity (Rx=0.25)
This course delivers on overview of the intersection of obesity, T2DM, and hypertension pathophysiology and sets the stage for understanding how traditional and novel anti-obesity therapies impact these diseases and the cardiac implications.
Managing Obesity in Primary Care: Yes, It Can Be Done (Rx=0.25)
Most primary care providers ask, “How can I add another disease to be treated to my already very busy schedule, especially one that is impacting so many of my patients?” This course includes a case study to demonstrate how to integrate the treatment of obesity into primary care using evidence-based guideline treatment.
Treating Obesity Inside and Outside the Labels (Rx=0.50)
Today’s reality for pharmacology treatment of obesity on-label provides limited choices, including those limited by cost. Experienced clinicians treating obesity recognize the value of on-label prescribing but also look to off-label use of medications for obesity treatment. This course briefly reviews current FDA-approved medicines for the long-term treatment of obesity. The course then focuses on long-term use of FDA-approved short-term medications and medications known to support weight loss but that do not have FDA approval for that purpose. Case studies will be utilized to demonstrate these situations.
