Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:

• Discuss the latest scientific and clinical discoveries in the field of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism
• Apply new found knowledge to the diagnosis and management of patients with disorders of endocrinology, diabetes or metabolism for improved patient outcomes
• Assess the potential applications of emerging scientific advances that affect the practice of endocrinology.

MAINTENANCE OF CERTIFICATION

Successful completion of this CME activity enables the participant to earn up to 1 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity.
