The goal of the Endocrinology & Metabolism Board Review
(Cleveland Clinic, 18.5 credit hours) is to provide participants with an intensive review of endocrinology and metabolism, which will also be helpful for certification. The program is heavily weighted to board simulation.
After viewing the course, you will be able to: describe diabetes control and complications; interpret tests
for hypo- and hyperadrenalism; analyze thyroid tests; review evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis and calcium disorders; appraise patients with hypogonadism and pituitary disorders; diagnose important pediatric endocrine disorders; evaluate endocrine disorders during pregnancy; identify genetic disorders in endocrinology; and undertake board simulation question and answers.

Insulin
Simulation Instructional System (ISIS) (Sponsored Link)
|
After completing the Insulin Simulation Instructional System (ISIS) program, you will be better able to start and adjust insulin programs for a variety of patient types. You will be evaluating a group of simulated patients and ordering and scheduling the appropriate insulin to stabilize their condition. Each time you order insulin ISIS will calculate the new blood glucose levels and will update the patient’s logbook accordingly. The patients will also communicate with you describing their progress. You will continue to treat the patients until you have effectively stabilized them. Along the way ISIS will give you expert help and opinions which will guide you in your task. As you work through each patient you’ll be developing a useful diabetes reference library which will help you in your day to day practice. 3 of 5 modules are presently available: Starting Insulin (3 cases); Making Adjustments (4 cases); and Advanced (3 cases). Pregnancy and Insulin Pumps are not yet posted. When you register, be sure to enter Affiliate Code "APOLLO" (without the quotes). |
