Accreditation April 2014

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of the Foundation for Care Management (FCM) and the Age Management Medicine Group (AMMG).

FCM is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

FCM designates this educational activity for a maximum of 27 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

The Foundation for Care Management is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. Program #0347-9999-14-006-L01-P

*This CE activity is knowledge based.

The Foundation for Care Management is an approved provider of continuing nursing education by the WashingtonState Nurses Association Continuing Education Approval & Recognition Program (CEARP), an accredited approver by the AmericanNursesCredentialingCenter’s Commission on Accreditation. 

Learning Objectives  AMMG April 2014
Upon completion of this learning activity, the participant will be able to:

  • Understand the prevalence of obesity and its impact on health, and learn clinical pearls for managing obesity, improving effective communication about weight and increasing awareness of available resources for managing obesity.
  • Understand the impact of obesity on the development and progression of cardiovascular disease and learn about case reports of obesity, cardiomyopathy and clinical outcomes which will enable participants to understand the clinical relevance of early intervention for treatment of obesity related comorbidities.
  • Review epidemic, etiology and pathogenesis of overweight and obesity and understand how hormone imbalances, systemic toxicity, nutritional deficiencies and mental, emotional and spiritual health issues contribute to overweight and obesity.
  • Learn effective strategies for evaluation and management of hormone imbalance, toxicity, nutritional deficiency and mental, emotional and spiritual health in the management of overweight and obesity and understand the role of metaphysics in overcoming weight loss resistance.
  • Understand how to define and understand the disease state known as Metabolic Syndrome, the parameters for defining and diagnosing as well as biopsychosocial gender differences in treatment strategies. Understand causes for diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome beyond the conventional risk factors and be able to assess the contribution of the immune system, metabolic endotoxemia, chemicals and toxins to the development of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
  • Learn about the role of hormones and psychoneuroendocrinology as it relates to gene-environment interaction and effects on fat loss resistance.
  • Clarify the connection between PCOs and obesity and provide an integrative approach to the treatment of obesity in PCO patients.
  • Discuss the basic concepts and evidence-based science behind Age Management Medicine and how to incorporate Nutrition, Supplements, Fitness, Hormone Modulation, Patient Assessment Protocols and the new concepts of Genetic Testing, Telomere and Stem Cells.
  • Discuss and understand the use of testosterone therapy in men and the relevance, use and importance of this in modern medicine.
  • Understand the role of cholesterol in preventing atherosclerosis and which patients benefit from statin treatment and what depletions are produced from statin therapy.
  • Understand the different types of stem cells present in the body and what they do and their use in orthopedic injuries. Review registry data on the success rates of MSC use in various body areas and injuries and discover whether testosterone helps bone marrow stem cells and if so, how?
  • Become familiar with the emerging paradigm of psychoneuroimmunology and recognize the role of neurotransmitters, cytokines, and hormones as chemical mediators of one interconnected supersystem, considering the relevance of biomarkers for neuro, endocrine, and immune function. Explore the utility of biomarker assessments to guide treatment decisions.
  • Understand how Caloric Restriction (CR) can be used as an effective treatment for cancer and the Metabolic Approach to the treatment of cancer.
  • Illustrate arterial plaque growth, plaque rupture, and how platelet aggregation leads to CVD events, and review cutting-edge data being submitted for publication that will highlight emerging lifestyle factors that predict arterial age and plaque burden, plus identify which lifestyle factors predict both arterial plaque growth and plaque regression.
  • Discuss dietary and exercise therapies that have been shown in clinical outcome trials to prevent cardiovascular disease events and clarify what supplements can and can’t do in decreasing cardiovascular events.
  • Understand the “Wellness Coaching Model” and the clinical benefits this model offers for Age Management clinicians.
  • Understand the concept of Functional Neurology and how to apply its principles to improve function of the aging brain.
  • Be aware of clinical treatment options for insulin resistance.
  • Have familiarity with men’s sexual health and the new perspective on sex and relationships. Review the literature demonstrating that adequate progesterone opposition is required to protect against breast cancer, to increase BCRP’s, and to be apoptotic to cancer cells and discover which two medications have EBM support for breast cancer protection. Discuss the difference between randomized controlled trials and observational studies of testosterone as they pertain to breast cancer risk versus breast cancer protection. Understand that prior hysterectomy does not preclude the use of progesterone or testosterone. Utilize the studies presented to provide proof that optimal levels of progesterone and testosterone are necessary to provide an apoptotic effect on breast cancer cells.
  • Know how to diagnose the presence of estrogen dominance in all ages of women, using the Millennium Equation for the EP Ratio. Know how to provide low-dose hormonal therapy with greater efficacy.
  • Recognize adrenal fatigue and understand why there is increased incidence of adrenal compromise and how to clinically treat patients with adrenal insufficiency.
  • Understand the etiology and pathology of gynecomastia and ways to prevent gynecomastia in males. Learn about surgical and non-surgical interventions to treat gynecomastic patients.
  • Define and understand basic concepts of peptide biology and examine the physiological effects of peptides on organs and tissues. Be able to identify current peptides commonly used in Age Management Medicine and explore the latest research on peptides as it applies to AMM comparing standard BIHRT versus emerging peptide therapies in clinical outcomes in aging patients.
  • Understand that the major risk of developing Alzheimer’s is a metabolic disorder: insulin resistance, and understand the insulin pathway of Phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) and Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) in the role of developing Alzheimer’s and the role of nitric oxide in Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Identify six symptoms of testosterone deficiency in women over 40 and be able to identify, describe and compare at least four delivery methods for administering testosterone to women, along with risks and benefits of each method.
  • Understand Thyroid, Adrenal and Gonadal dysfunction and clinical treatment options including HRT, nutritional and dietary interventions.
  • Have awareness about how medications affect obesity and discuss alternatives to medication choices in specific cases, and the outcomes of those choices.
  • Understand the concept of bone deconditioning, and the use of osteogenic loading as a clinical treatment option.
  • Participate in a series of clinical case discussions where various diagnostic methods and individualized patient treatment options will be discussed.
