Sarcoidosis: Considerations in the Management of Refractory Disease - Cardiac Sarcoidosis
StartActivity Details
Expires: February 10, 2021
Accredited By
This continuing medical education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for the activity is pulmonologists, neurologists, cardiologists, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with sarcoidosis.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:- Identify the clinical signs and symptoms of pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis.
- Utilize available assessments to appropriately identify refractory or progressive disease.
- Incorporate knowledge of available clinical evidence to select among treatment options for refractory sarcoidosis.
- Implement strategies to optimize patient-centered care and coordination within a multidisciplinary care team.
Activity Description
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease that can affect 1 or more organs. It is newly diagnosed in an estimated 25,000 persons each year, with approximately 185,000 patients seeking medical care per year. Sarcoidosis most often affects the lung, but it is highly variable and almost any organ can be affected. Cutaneous, ocular, renal, cardiac, neurologic, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal manifestations are possible. Although many patients respond to first-line therapy or experience spontaneous resolution of the condition, a subset of patients are refractory to initial therapy, experiencing significant morbidity and mortality associated with disease progression as well as sarcoidosis-associated complications. In this educational activity, expert clinicians will discuss optimal ways to diagnose and manage patients with sarcoidosis.

Patient-Centered, Multidisciplinary Approaches to Optimize Outcomes in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
StartActivity Details
Expires: April 1, 2021
Accredited By
Target Audience
This educational initiative has been designed for neurologists, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) specialists, certified neurology nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with MS.
Learning Objectives
- ELUCIDATE the rationale behind early, individualized treatment of active MS disease
- CONSTRUCT a risk/benefit analysis across current, newly approved and emerging MS therapies based on an understanding of MOAs, effects, safety, and efficacy in order to better individualize a patient’s treatment plan
- APPLY evidence-based strategies for educating and counseling MS patients about pharmacological options and lifestyle approaches to improving health-related quality of life
- IMPLEMENT a multidisciplinary treatment strategy involving methods for effective shared decision-making about MS DMTs
Activity Description
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive, immune-mediated, neurodegenerative disease that is associated with irreversible physical disability and functional impairment. Due to its heterogeneity, treatment of patients with MS is highly individualized. This activity is designed to help neurologists integrate the latest clinical evidence on disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) with patient needs and preferences to develop effective, individualized treatment plans. During this multimedia case-based activity, learners will balance the benefits and risks of MS treatment options to optimize patient management through shared decision-making. The availability of DMT has revolutionized the care of patients with MS; however, more than a dozen DMTs are currently FDA-approved, with several more undergoing late-stage clinical trials. With no head-to-head trials of DMTs, clinicians are dependent upon national guidelines and educational activities to stay abreast of the safety and efficacy of these agents, along with strategies for optimizing patient outcomes. Clinical practice guidelines were released in early 2018 by the AAN, and many clinicians require education on the new recommendations. To address the multisystem nature of MS, clinicians must be prepared to coordinate care within a multidisciplinary team, and shared decision-making with a patient-centric approach is a critical component of effective care.

Target Audience
This educational initiative has been designed for neurologists, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) specialists, certified neurology nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with MS.
Learning Objectives
- ELUCIDATE the rationale behind early, individualized treatment of active MS disease
- CONSTRUCT a risk/benefit analysis across current, newly approved and emerging MS therapies based on an understanding of MOAs, effects, safety, and efficacy in order to better individualize a patient’s treatment plan
- APPLY evidence-based strategies for educating and counseling MS patients about pharmacological options and lifestyle approaches to improving health-related quality of life
- IMPLEMENT a multidisciplinary treatment strategy involving methods for effective shared decision-making about MS DMTs
Activity Description
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive, immune-mediated, neurodegenerative disease that is associated with irreversible physical disability and functional impairment. Due to its heterogeneity, treatment of patients with MS is highly individualized. This activity is designed to help neurologists integrate the latest clinical evidence on disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) with patient needs and preferences to develop effective, individualized treatment plans. During this multimedia case-based activity, learners will balance the benefits and risks of MS treatment options to optimize patient management through shared decision-making. The availability of DMT has revolutionized the care of patients with MS; however, more than a dozen DMTs are currently FDA-approved, with several more undergoing late-stage clinical trials. With no head-to-head trials of DMTs, clinicians are dependent upon national guidelines and educational activities to stay abreast of the safety and efficacy of these agents, along with strategies for optimizing patient outcomes. Clinical practice guidelines were released in early 2018 by the AAN, and many clinicians require education on the new recommendations. To address the multisystem nature of MS, clinicians must be prepared to coordinate care within a multidisciplinary team, and shared decision-making with a patient-centric approach is a critical component of effective care.

Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophies – A Deep Dive Into Molecular Causes, Symptoms, and Testing by Subtype
StartActivity Details
Expires: March 30, 2021
Accredited By
This continuing medical education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is neurologists, neuromuscular specialists, pediatricians, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD).
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:- Evaluate the genetic and molecular causes of the major subtypes of LGMD as well as the clinical implications for patients.
- Examine the heterogeneity in symptoms experienced by patients with LGMD and the implications for patient management.
- Assess appropriate tests and medical work-up to aid in the timely and accurate subtype diagnosis for patients with LGMD.
Activity Description
Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a group of rare neuromuscular disorders characterized by weakness and wasting of the muscles in the shoulder and pelvic girdles. The severity, age of onset, and heterogeneity are determined by mutations in various genes. To date, there are no disease-modifying options for patients with LGMD; instead, management is based on multidisciplinary care to treat the symptoms and prevent further progression. As the science surrounding LGMD and its treatment continues to evolve, it is imperative that neurologists and other providers understand the mechanisms of disease, the difference in subtypes, and how to achieve accurate diagnosis. To address these topics, experts on LGMD will present a web-based educational activity featuring multidisciplinary perspectives.
Agenda

Target Audience
The intended audience for the activity is pulmonologists, neurologists, cardiologists, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with sarcoidosis.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:- Incorporate knowledge of available clinical evidence to select among treatment options for refractory sarcoidosis.
- Implement strategies to optimize patient-centered care and coordination within a multidisciplinary care team.
Activity Description
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease that can affect 1 or more organs. It is newly diagnosed in an estimated 25,000 persons each year, with approximately 185,000 patients seeking medical care per year. Sarcoidosis most often affects the lung, but it is highly variable and almost any organ can be affected. Cutaneous, ocular, renal, cardiac, neurologic, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal manifestations are possible. Although many patients respond to first-line therapy or experience spontaneous resolution of the condition, a subset of patients are refractory to initial therapy, experiencing significant morbidity and mortality associated with disease progression as well as sarcoidosis-associated complications. In this educational activity, expert clinicians will discuss optimal ways to diagnose and manage patients with sarcoidosis.
