  • Unpacking Metabolic Conditions: An Interdisciplinary Conversation

    Metabolic disease is increasingly recognized as a complex, multisystem condition with implications across the liver, cardiovascular system, and beyond. This relevant program guides clinicians through practical strategies to identify and manage metabolic dysfunction, including MASLD/MASH, using accessible tools such as HgA1c, ASCVD risk estimation, CKD staging, and noninvasive fibrosis scores. Our skilled experts highlight newly approved pharmacotherapies and their systemic impact, supporting a more coordinatied, whole-patient approach to care.

  • Pregnancy Planning, Evaluation and Management of Patients with Pre-existing Cardiac Disease
    Cardiovascular disease remains a leading and preventable contributor to maternal death, and women with the highest-risk heart conditions can face maternal morbidity rates approaching 50%. In this vodcast, learn how to support patients with preexisting heart disease through every stage of the reproductive journey, from preconception counseling to postpartum care. This session highlights risk stratification, collaborative care planning, and evidence-based strategies to improve maternal and fetal health outcomes.

  • Reproductive Health Counseling for Women with High-Risk Heart Disease
    Women with cardiovascular disease face unique reproductive health challenges across the lifespan, yet many report unmet counseling needs, limited care coordination, and barriers to informed decision-making. In this expert-led session, faculty explore how life course and reproductive justice frameworks can inform reproductive health counseling for patients with cardiac disease. Participants will learn strategies for discussing contraception, pregnancy planning, and reproductive goals using the PATH framework and shared decision-making principles. The program also highlights the impact of social drivers of health, multidisciplinary collaboration, and cardiac risk assessment in supporting safe, equitable, and patient-centered reproductive care.

  • Therapeutic Applications for MASH/MASLD.

    Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) are rapidly increasing in prevalence, driven by rising rates of obesity, insulin resistance, and other metabolic risk factors. Faculty will review zthe physiologic roles of glucagon and incretin receptor signaling and explan how emerging therapies modulate these pathways to improve liver and cardiometabolic outcomes. Join this program to stay current and gain practical guidance to help improve the care of patients with MASLD/MASH.

  • Improving Vaccine Timing, Access, and Follow Up in Complex Care Settings

    Experts highlight shared responsibility for adult vaccination, identification of high-risk patients, and evidence-based timing of RZV, including before immunosuppressive therapy. Experts also discuss pharmacist led, technology enabled strategies that reduce missed RZV vaccination opportunities and support completion of the two-dose series through structured, team-based communication among the healthcare team to ensure coordinated care.

  • Novel Pathways in Cardiometabolic and Liver Health: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue

    Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) plays a pivotal role in cardiometabolic health, driven by its bidrectional relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its impact on long-term morbidity and mortality. This interdisciplinary vodcast explores the shared pathophysiologic pathways connecting MASLD and CVD and underscores the importance of comprehensive risk evaluation. A panel of experts discusses practical, evidence-based strategies for managing MASLD, including lifestyle interventions and the evolving landscape of pharmacologic therapies. The program highlights emerging cardiometabolic agents, including GLP 1-based therapies, ande their potential to slow disease progression and reduce cardiovascular risk in affected patients. CE credits available.

  • Protecting Against Shingles: What Healthcare Professionals Need to Know

    Experts discuss key evidence on shingles vaccination, including efficacy, safety, and long-term protection. It compares live and recombinant vaccines, highlights clinical trial data on durability, and offers practical strategies to address vaccine hesitancy and reinforce completion of the two-dose series.

  • Beyond the Emergency: EMS and Rural Maternal Health

    Maternal emergencies in rural communities often occur far from obstetric services, making EMS providers the first, and sometimes only, point of care. This activity explores the unique challenges and critical responsibilities of pre‑hospital teams in managing obstetric complications, from hemorrhage and hypertensive crises to field deliveries, while addressing social determinants of health and training gaps. Learners will gain practical strategies for improving readiness, communication, and coordinated systems of care to help reduce preventable maternal morbidity and mortality.
