The Endocrine Society presents the Continuing Medical Education Services (CMES) Regional Forum entitled :
Endocrine Care 2008: Integrating the Spectrum of Care From
Cardiometabolic Risk to Inpatient Hyperglycemia.
Anthony L. McCall, MD, PhD, University of Virginia Health Systems - Chair Caroline Apovian, MD, Boston University Medical Center Susan Braithwaithe, MD, University of North Carolina Diabetes Care Center John Leahy, MD, University of Vermont College of Medicine Michelle Magee, MD, MedStar Diabetes and Research Institute Kevin Niswender, MD, PhD, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Background The program is designed for all members of the endocrine team to understand
the serious consequences of cardiometabolic risk factors, new physiologic pathways
that can target weight loss and cardiovascular risk, and the urgency of recognizing
hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients in the presence or absence of diabetes.
Participants can receive a maximum of 3.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for this educational activity.
Learning Objectives Upon completion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:- Examine the role central adiposity plays as a contributor to cardiometabolic risk
to better identify individuals at risk - Discuss lifestyle modifications and new pharmacologic options when diet and
exercise alone fail to produce significant weight loss and multiple risk factor
reductions - Define and apply current standard of care guidelines for blood pressure, lipid,
and glucose control - Examine the rationale for targeted glycemic control in the hospital setting to
minimize critical glucose fluctuations - Outline strategies for implementing hospital insulin protocols and postdischarge
plans to reach and maintain euglycemia
