Target Audience
The intended audience for the activity is family medicine physicians, internists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients at high risk for acquiring HIV.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Evaluate complications of untreated HIV as well as the tools for risk assessments and routine screening.
- Identify patient eligibility and the categories of patients who may benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
- Review the latest clinical evidence regarding current and emerging PrEP therapies, including guidance on medication adherence and risk-reduction counseling.
Activity Description
HIV is a disease that attacks the body’s immune system. Patients with HIV have the capability to transmit the virus to other patients via either sex or sharing of needles or syringes. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS, which is the most severe phase of HIV infection. Because there is no effective vaccine to prevent HIV transmission, behavioral and biomedical HIV prevention strategies are needed to reduce HIV acquisition. For HIV-uninfected patients, PrEP using antiretroviral medications is an evidence-based method to prevent new infections among those at greatest risk, as data have shown that it is highly effective in individuals who are adherent to taking the PrEP agent. In this CE activity, the faculty for this program will identify the categories of patients who may benefit from PrEP, as well as explore the safety and efficacy of current PrEP therapies, and will utilize the unique ArcheMedX Intelligent Learning Platform.
Statement of Educational Need
Several quality care gaps exist when managing individuals who are at high risk for developing HIV. This insufficient care is attributed to numerous factors, including primary care physicians and other providers who do not perform routine screenings and risk assessments of patients, do not discuss PrEP or any other risk prevention strategies with patients who may exhibit high-risk behaviors, do not actively promote adherence to PrEP or follow up with patients, and who lack competence about current PrEP therapies. As such, an educational initiative discussing these topics is warranted to improve outcomes for patients who are at high risk for acquiring HIV.

Reframing the Significance of Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Severe Asthma—Monograph
StartActivity Details
Expires: May 27, 2023
Accredited By
National Jewish Health
Target Audience
Pulmonologists, Allergists (MDs and DOs) and Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants in these specialties.
Learning Objectives
- Define AHR and its relationship to epithelial cell function, inflammation, and airway remodeling in asthma
- Evaluate the role of bronchoprovocation challenge testing in asthma diagnosis and management
- Discuss the implications of AHR for treatment selection in severe asthma
- Compare the effects of current and emerging biologic therapies on AHR in clinical studies
Activity Description
This activity presents the content from videos 1 and 2 in a text-based monograph as an alternative format. The activity is focused on airway hyperresponsiveness, its clinical significance, and emerging treatments. The succinct, expert-guided material will provide practical tools for specialists with competing priorities and limited time to integrate into their practice.
Statement of Educational Need
Clinicians are challenged to integrate the volume and complexity of information on the pathophysiology of severe asthma and appropriate interventions for severe asthma into clinical practice. Now is an exciting time for patients with severe asthma, as potential treatments are on the horizon that may impact the cascade of severe asthma inflammation, including T2 and non-T2 or T2-low. However, in order to understand these emerging novel asthma therapies, clinicians need to understand epithelial alarmins and their role in newly described inflammatory processes in severe asthma.

Activity Details
Expires: May 27, 2023
Accredited By
National Jewish Health
Target Audience
Pulmonologists, Allergists (MDs and DOs) and Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants in these specialties.
Learning Objectives
- Define AHR and its relationship to epithelial cell function, inflammation, and airway remodeling in asthma
- Evaluate the role of bronchoprovocation challenge testing in asthma diagnosis and management
Activity Description
This 15-minute video-based activity focuses on defining airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), pathophysiology of AHR, and AHR testing in clinical practice. The video also includes a detailed animation overviewing the pathophysiology of AHR. The succinct, expert-guided material will provide practical tools for specialists with competing priorities and limited time to integrate into their practice.
Statement of Educational Need
Clinicians are challenged to integrate the volume and complexity of information on the pathophysiology of severe asthma and appropriate interventions for severe asthma into clinical practice. Now is an exciting time for patients with severe asthma, as potential treatments are on the horizon that may impact the cascade of severe asthma inflammation, including T2 and non-T2 or T2-low. However, in order to understand these emerging novel asthma therapies, clinicians need to understand epithelial alarmins and their role in newly described inflammatory processes in severe asthma.

Case Conundrums in COVID-19: Primer on the Immune Basis of COVID-19 Progression
StartExpires: March 29, 2023
Accredited By
This continuing medical education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is rheumatologists, hospitalists, critical care physicians, intensivists, immunologists, infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Describe the role of the innate and adaptive immune response underlying the progression of COVID-19 from early-stage disease to hospitalization to hyperinflammation.
Activity Description
In this 4-part Curbside Consults video series, experts from infectious disease, pulmonology, and rheumatology will review clinical cases across the spectrum of COVID-19 disease. Strategies will be discussed for the prevention and management of severe COVID-19–associated hyperinflammation and respiratory damage.
Statement of Educational Need
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented health care crisis with widespread global morbidity and mortality. Severe COVID-19 is characterized by a hyperinflammatory state and significant pulmonary disease that can result in respiratory failure and organ damage. Targeted immunomodulatory treatments can reduce the risk of disease progression and death in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Recent advances have spurred unprecedented levels of ongoing clinical research, creating a substantial challenge for clinicians to stay up to date on the latest evidence-based care and rapidly evolving treatment guidelines.

Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is rheumatologists, hospitalists, critical care physicians, intensivists, immunologists, infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Evaluate the latest data regarding immune-based therapies, including glucocorticoids, JAK inhibitors, and other targeted therapies for the management of patients with COVID-19.
- Recognize how variables such as disease severity, comorbidities, and immunologic endotypes may impact the management of patients with COVID-19.
Activity Description
In this 4-part Curbside Consults video series, experts from infectious disease, pulmonology, and rheumatology will review clinical cases across the spectrum of COVID-19 disease. Strategies will be discussed for the prevention and management of severe COVID-19–associated hyperinflammation and respiratory damage.
Statement of Educational Need
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented health care crisis with widespread global morbidity and mortality. Severe COVID-19 is characterized by a hyperinflammatory state and significant pulmonary disease that can result in respiratory failure and organ damage. Targeted immunomodulatory treatments can reduce the risk of disease progression and death in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Recent advances have spurred unprecedented levels of ongoing clinical research, creating a substantial challenge for clinicians to stay up to date on the latest evidence-based care and rapidly evolving treatment guidelines.
