Looking for the Zebra: Acromegaly – An Uncommon Cause Behind Common Conditions
This CME course is a 30-minute program that intends to increase endocrinologists’ awareness of detecting patients with acromegaly early and minimizing the diagnostic gap. The medical information of the program will be presented by following Ruth, a patient who goes on an acromegaly journey from the development of symptoms through diagnosis and finally to treatment and follow-up. This program aims to educate endocrinologists about the consequences of delayed diagnosis of acromegaly and train them about clinical settings where seemingly common symptoms should raise concerns about acromegaly. In addition, endocrinologists will learn about the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients with acromegaly.
