Program Overview:
Mirroring the academic grand rounds programs, these CME programs combine traditional academic grand rounds with the innovation and convenience of telemedicine. This weekly webinar program, broadcast from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and delivered by top experts in the field, covers a wide range of topics involved with the clinical care of patients with HIV/AIDS.
The one-hour presentations will be designed to be immediately relevant to practicing HIV clinicians and many will be case-based. The final 10 minutes of each one-hour program will consist of a live question and answer period with the presenting faculty member available to answer questions asked by participants who attend in person or via the Internet. These weekly grand rounds programs are intended to provide clinicians with convenient and easily accessible knowledge and clinical skills they need to provide the best medical care for their HIV-positive patients.
Target Audience:
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, other health care providers, and pharmacists who diagnose and manage patients with HIV/AIDS.
Commercial Support Acknowledgement:
This activity is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Gilead Sciences and Janssen Therapeutics.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of the program, participants should be able to:
-
List the important factors that play a role in ARV therapy success;
-
Explain the role that drug adverse events, drug pharmacokinetics and patient adherence play in achieving ARV success and avoiding morbidity and mortality;
-
Describe the important opportunistic infections and co-morbidities that may affect HIV-positive patients and increase their risk for morbidity and mortality;
-
Discuss the importance of individualizing the care of each HIV-positive patient.
