In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, experts discuss practical strategies for integrating cognitive screening into routine care visits and conducting more detailed cognitive evaluations that results in a written care plan with patients who fail a brief cognitive screening assessment. Experts also share guidance on working with Medicare reimbursement mechanisms to facilitate consistent and effective use of early detection tools and practical skills to counsel patients and their caregivers before, during, and after the diagnostic process.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of internal medicine physicians, family medicine physicians, geriatricians, advanced practice clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists, and other clinicians involved in the assessment and care of patients with or at risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Integrate routine cognitive assessment in outpatient visits of older adults who present with signs and symptoms of cognitive impairment to facilitate the timely diagnosis of MCI and mild dementia due to AD
  • Employ appropriate tools for documentation and coding of procedures (eg, cognitive assessments) and services for patients presenting with cognitive symptoms or concerns
  • Implement effective communication strategies to educate patients and caregivers about the clinical significance and prognostic implications of their cognitive assessment results

Activity Expiration Date: April 15, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) has a substantial genetic component, with heritability estimated to be between 40% and 80%, and the APOE ε4 allele is the strongest individual genetic risk factor for LOAD. Until recently, the APOE genotype test has been primarily used as a research tool and not recommended for clinical use. However, with the recent advances in disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), including several anti–amyloid monoclonal antibodies approved or in late-stage development, it is more important to determine which patients have the APOE ε4 allele and whether these patients are at an elevated risk of developing amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA).

In this activity, based on a recent live webcast, experts examine the significance of APOE ε4 carrier status on the risk for developing LOAD, as well as the potential implications for patient care, including the increased risk for ARIA in patients taking anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies. They provide guidance on identifying patients who may be candidates for genetic risk testing and share their best practices for interpreting and disclosing APOE test results and providing appropriate genetic counseling to patients and their families.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of healthcare professionals involved in the interdisciplinary and interprofessional diagnosis and care of patients with or at risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), including neurologists, psychiatrists, geneticists, family and internal medicine physicians, advanced practice clinicians, psychologists, pharmacists, social workers, and genetic counselors.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Recognize the significance of APOE ε4 carrier status on the risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) and the potential implications for patient care
  • Identify patients who may be candidates for genetic risk testing, and provide guidance on the benefits and limitations of direct-to-consumer testing versus genetic testing that is performed in a healthcare setting
  • Interpret and share genetic risk test results with patients and their families in a clear, understandable manner, and tailor genetic counseling services to individual patients’ needs in consultation with other members of the healthcare team

Activity Expiration Date: January 30, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

BTK inhibitors have transformed the medical management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and led to similar advances for patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and other B-cell malignancies. These therapeutics have dramatically improved outcomes for patients but have also introduced challenges regarding optimal AE management because BTK inhibitors have unique safety profiles that differ from increasingly outdated immunochemotherapy regimens. In this activity, a panel of hematology-oncology experts utilize short lectures and case-based discussions to illustrate how the interprofessional, multidisciplinary team can use safety considerations to select therapy, manage unique and challenging AEs, educate and counsel patients, and ensure vastly improved outcomes for patients with CLL, MCL, and other B-cell cancers.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of hematologist-oncologists, hematology-oncology nurses, pharmacists, cardiologists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with B-cell malignancies.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Summarize current safety considerations with first- and second-generation BTK inhibitors, including mechanistic aspects that affect toxicity, head-to-safety data, and general class-wide AE issues
  • Manage and mitigate toxicity associated with BTK inhibitors, including through active interventions and judicious treatment selection
  • Develop team strategies for safety management that include multidisciplinary collaboration, safety-informed treatment selection, and outreach to patients with B-cell cancers receiving BTK inhibitor therapy

Building a Safety-Centric Culture in B-Cell Cancers: Interprofessional Insights on Optimizing BTKi Efficacy Through Safety Management

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: January 31, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: January 30, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

BTK inhibitors have transformed the medical management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and led to similar advances for patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and other B-cell malignancies. These therapeutics have dramatically improved outcomes for patients but have also introduced challenges regarding optimal AE management because BTK inhibitors have unique safety profiles that differ from increasingly outdated immunochemotherapy regimens. In this activity, a panel of hematology-oncology experts utilize short lectures and case-based discussions to illustrate how the interprofessional, multidisciplinary team can use safety considerations to select therapy, manage unique and challenging AEs, educate and counsel patients, and ensure vastly improved outcomes for patients with CLL, MCL, and other B-cell cancers.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of hematologist-oncologists, hematology-oncology nurses, pharmacists, cardiologists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with B-cell malignancies.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Summarize current safety considerations with first- and second-generation BTK inhibitors, including mechanistic aspects that affect toxicity, head-to-safety data, and general class-wide AE issues
  • Manage and mitigate toxicity associated with BTK inhibitors, including through active interventions and judicious treatment selection
  • Develop team strategies for safety management that include multidisciplinary collaboration, safety-informed treatment selection, and outreach to patients with B-cell cancers receiving BTK inhibitor therapy

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: January 31, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: February 29, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

Despite the availability of testing, vaccines, and treatments, COVID-19 remains a threat—no one can predict when a new strain might surface and many questions remain. The virus that causes COVID-19 is designated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the clinical spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 infection ranges from asymptomatic to critical and fatal illness. Most symptomatic infections are mild; however, a significant number of patients have severe disease requiring hospitalization. Hospitalization and death are more likely in high-risk populations, including older people, individuals with underlying medical problems, and those affected by systemic health and social inequities (ie, minorities, immigrant populations, people of low socioeconomic status, and the disabled).

Therapies such as antiviral agents and monoclonal antibodies are available in the United States and Europe for the treatment of COVID-19; however, there are challenges with determining which hospitalized patients may be best suited for which treatment. In this activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, a panel of experts explores strategies to improve outcomes for COVID-19 in the hospital setting, with a focus on designing individualized treatment plans based on current guidelines, evolving evidence, and patient-specific factors. The panel also discusses how differences in drug access and treatment protocols impact the healthcare team in regards to providing individualized treatment programs for patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of internists, pharmacists, pulmonologists, emergency medicine physicians, infectious disease specialists, nurses, NPs, PAs, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Assess patients with COVID-19 to make appropriate treatment recommendations based on disease severity
  • Differentiate therapies for COVID-19 based on the latest safety and efficacy data from clinical trials
  • Collaborate with the healthcare team to design timely and individualized treatment plans for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 disease based on current guidelines, evolving evidence, and patient-specific factors
  • Discuss the clinical implications of prolonged/persistent viral replication in severe COVID-19

Fine-Tuning Biomarker Testing to Identify and Target RET Fusions as Uncommon But Actionable Genomic Alterations in NSCLC

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: January 30, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: January 29, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

Less common genomic alterations such as gene fusions represent actionable and important therapeutic targets in a substantial proportion of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although they are relatively rare, it is essential to conduct appropriate biomarker testing to identify these alterations because highly effective targeted therapies have become available that can significantly improve patient outcomes versus older targeted therapies or cytotoxic agents. RET fusion–positive NSCLC is one such example. Next-generation, more selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy and improved safety in patients with tumors exhibiting RET fusions. However, testing for these fusions and other less common alterations as well as interpreting reports of testing results can be challenging, which can lead to missed opportunities to offer the best possible therapy to patients who could benefit from them.

This educational activity is designed to help professionals involved in the testing and treatment of patients with NSCLC develop their knowledge and skills to bridge the current gaps in the care of patients with lung cancer. Expert faculty provide practical guidance on how to select the correct biomarker testing approach and platform to identify gene fusions and other less common alterations in NSCLC, implement the testing in-house or externally, and decipher the results or interpret the information in send-out testing reports. The experts also share tips and case-based examples of effectively collaborating with multidisciplinary and interprofessional colleagues to identify suitable candidates for the latest targeted therapies matched to the results of biomarker testing and, consequently, positively impact the outcomes of these patients.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of pathologists, medical oncologists, pulmonologists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with NSCLC.

Fine-Tuning Biomarker Testing to Identify and Target RET Fusions as Uncommon But Actionable Genomic Alterations in NSCLC

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: January 30, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: January 29, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 60 minutes

Activity Description

Less common genomic alterations such as gene fusions represent actionable and important therapeutic targets in a substantial proportion of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although they are relatively rare, it is essential to conduct appropriate biomarker testing to identify these alterations because highly effective targeted therapies have become available that can significantly improve patient outcomes versus older targeted therapies or cytotoxic agents. RET fusion–positive NSCLC is one such example. Next-generation, more selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy and improved safety in patients with tumors exhibiting RET fusions. However, testing for these fusions and other less common alterations as well as interpreting reports of testing results can be challenging, which can lead to missed opportunities to offer the best possible therapy to patients who could benefit from them.

This educational activity is designed to help professionals involved in the testing and treatment of patients with NSCLC develop their knowledge and skills to bridge the current gaps in the care of patients with lung cancer. Expert faculty provide practical guidance on how to select the correct biomarker testing approach and platform to identify gene fusions and other less common alterations in NSCLC, implement the testing in-house or externally, and decipher the results or interpret the information in send-out testing reports. The experts also share tips and case-based examples of effectively collaborating with multidisciplinary and interprofessional colleagues to identify suitable candidates for the latest targeted therapies matched to the results of biomarker testing and, consequently, positively impact the outcomes of these patients.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of pathologists, medical oncologists, pulmonologists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with NSCLC.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Describe the role of gene fusions and other less common alterations in NSCLC, importance of appropriate biomarker testing to identify patients with these alterations, and clinical evidence supporting the use of matched targeted therapies to optimize patient outcomes
  • Implement team-based strategies to identify patients with NSCLC for biomarker testing, select appropriate tests to capture all actionable genomic alterations, and interpret testing results to guide treatment selection
  • Apply the latest evidence and guidelines to individualize targeted therapy for patients with lung cancers harboring uncommon gene fusions and other alterations
  • Educate patients about the role of biomarker testing in lung cancer, risks and benefits of targeted therapies, and importance of selecting optimal therapy based on biomarker testing results and patient needs, values, and preferences

Activity Description

This educational program exposes learners to the science that supports the use of GnRH antagonists for appropriate patients with advanced prostate cancer and will enhance their ability to select optimal ADT regimens based on CV risk and other clinically-relevant factors, and optimize CV care and outcomes during ADT. Through a collection of short, focused educational modules, learners will combine self-assessment with concise clinical content in an interactive format. An expert GU oncologist presents digestible self-study segments, with a particular focus on CV considerations associated with ADT approaches. Explore topics pertinent to effective management of patients with prostate cancer on ADT regimens in your clinical practice and learn more about the impact of CV considerations and team-based models of care.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the key care team clinicians in the best position to positively impact safety, survival, and QoL outcomes of patients with advanced PC who require ADT, including urologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), pharmacists, and other allied healthcare professionals.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Differentiate between GnRH analogues (agonists or antagonists) for patients with advanced prostate cancer with respect to their mechanism of action, clinical effects, cardiovascular (CV) safety, and other attributes
  • Select patients with advanced prostate cancer who may benefit from treatment with a GnRH antagonist based on CV risk, comorbidities, patient preferences (eg, regarding dosing and/or administration route), and other individualized factors
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary and interprofessional care colleagues to appropriately assess and manage CV risk in patients with advanced prostate cancer who require ADT

Activity Description

This educational program exposes learners to the science that supports the use of GnRH antagonists for appropriate patients with advanced prostate cancer and will enhance their ability to select optimal ADT regimens based on CV risk and other clinically-relevant factors, and optimize CV care and outcomes during ADT. Through a collection of short, focused educational modules, learners will combine self-assessment with concise clinical content in an interactive format. An expert GU oncologist presents digestible self-study segments, with a particular focus on CV considerations associated with ADT approaches. Explore topics pertinent to effective management of patients with prostate cancer on ADT regimens in your clinical practice and learn more about the impact of CV considerations and team-based models of care.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the key care team clinicians in the best position to positively impact safety, survival, and QoL outcomes of patients with advanced PC who require ADT, including urologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), pharmacists, and other allied healthcare professionals.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Differentiate between GnRH analogues (agonists or antagonists) for patients with advanced prostate cancer with respect to their mechanism of action, clinical effects, cardiovascular (CV) safety, and other attributes
  • Select patients with advanced prostate cancer who may benefit from treatment with a GnRH antagonist based on CV risk, comorbidities, patient preferences (eg, regarding dosing and/or administration route), and other individualized factors
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary and interprofessional care colleagues to appropriately assess and manage CV risk in patients with advanced prostate cancer who require ADT

However, biological agents that target type 2 inflammation and are already approved for other indications (eg, asthma, atopic dermatitis) have begun to emerge as available therapeutic options for CRSwNP.

In this activity, Dr. Anju T. Peters shares her expertise in optimal clinical decision-making for patients with CRSwNP that is based on the latest evidence, best practice recommendations, and effective interdisciplinary collaboration.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with nasal polyps.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Identify patients with severe, inadequately controlled CRSwNP who would derive benefit from targeted biologic therapy
  • Assess patients with CRSwNP for comorbid conditions such as asthma and atopic dermatitis based on the relationship between CRSwNP and other type 2 inflammatory disorders
  • Employ a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients with CRSwNP according to practice guidelines and the latest clinical evidence

A Targeted Approach to Management of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis: The Latest on Novel Therapies That Improve Patient Outcomes


Activity Description and Educational Objectives

Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) is a rare, chronic autoimmune disorder that is highly variable in clinical presentation and treatment response. Traditionally used treatments for gMG are broadly immunosuppressive, do not target pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies, and provide insufficient symptom relief with significant side effects. Fortunately, advances in the understanding of gMG pathogenesis are leading to the development of new treatment options, including neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) modulators such as the recently approved efgartigimod, and rozanolixizumab, which recently completed phase 3 trials. As with all new and emerging therapeutics, it is important for clinicians to remain abreast of the latest data.

At a recent live event, a multidisciplinary panel of experts compared the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of new treatment options with traditional therapies for gMG. Audience members received expert advice from the perspective of a neurologist, pharmacist, and infusion nurse, with the goal of providing their patients with individualized care through FcRn modulation therapy.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Compare safety, efficacy, and tolerability of new treatment options with traditional therapies for generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)
  • Apply an understanding of the rationale and mechanisms for reducing levels of autoreactive IgG antibodies using FcRn-modulating therapies when making gMG treatment decisions
  • Implement a safe administration protocol for the use of FcRn-modulating therapy that includes infusion procedures, premedications, vaccinations, and treatment cycle timing

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of neurology specialists (neuromuscular, neuroimmunology, neuro-ophthalmology, and general neurology), nurse practitioners, physician assistants, infusion nurses, pharmacists, and other clinicians involved in the management of gMG.

Requirements for Successful Completion

In order to receive credit, participants must view the activity and complete the post-test and evaluation form. There are no prerequisites and there is no fee to participate in this activity or to receive CME/NCPD/CPE credit. Statements of Credit are awarded upon successful completion of the post-test and evaluation form.
