Accreditation

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 CreditsTM. 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 #0347-9999-13-005-L01-P*.
 
*This CE activity is knowledge based.

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

Learning Objectives  AMMG May 2013
Upon completion of this learning activity, the participant will be able to:

  • Incorporate early detection and prevention protocols for cardiac health into an age management medicine practice including nutriceuticals, hormones particularly in women, recent studies on the use of various prevention protocols and new concepts in patient assessment such as genetic and inflammatory markers of cardiac disease.
  • 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.
  • Describe how modern food supplies have been altered with the use of genetic engineering and the potential ramifications such as endocrine disruption of this genetically modified food supply and the relationship to human health.
  • Identify clinical scenarios that would benefit from the application of diagnostic tools that evaluate gut health and integrate with laboratory assessments that assess gut health into targeted patient treatment plans.
  • Discuss the importance and relevance of liver protection and the experimental clinical evidence that is available and how to apply that into a coordinated therapeutic strategy.
  • Identify issues involving aging in those with chronic disease such as HIV and be able to discuss HIV risk more freely and more frequently with patients and offer relevant lifestyle and patient treatment options to optimize health with these patients.
  • Describe food intolerance, the concept of delayed food sensitivities and the difference between fat loss and weight loss and be able to identify those symptoms and create an effective long term weight management strategy.
  • Discuss the value of nutritional supplementation in diabetes and cancer along with the functional chemopreventive potentials of fruits and vegetables phytochemical.
  • Decribe the evidence based hypothesis that physiologic measurement of thyroid function are more accurate at identifying the subclinical hypothyroid state than serum measurements and how to clinically apply this to resolve dosing issues for optimal patient health.
  • Identify 21st century applications for Genetic testing, Telomere and Stem Cells.
  • Describe, identify and compare the scientific evidence, proposed mechanism(s), benefits and limitations of various compounds such as Isoflavones, Chinese herbs, and others.
  • Apply and utilize Phytoestrogens that modulate Estrogen Receptor (ER) β. 
  • Develop an understanding of the importance of having a substantial literature and knowledge base available to help make correct patient treatment decisions for testosterone therapy in aging men and be able to take appropriate steps to stop and possibly reverse vascular disease.
  • Review the various mechanisms by which growth hormone, and other hormones, reduce the incidence of cancer and the latest safety reports of estrogen in both menopausal women as well as in breast cancer survivors and discuss the rationale behind the claim that BHRT protects against breast cancer and explore the claim that if testosterone causes cancer, then why don’t we see it in any study?
  • Describe the relationship between neurotransmitters of the adrenal medulla, brain chemistry and adrenal cortex function and how dietary and lifestyle decisions and the use of fluoride, bromide and medication influences have on thyroid and iodine status.
  • Cite the science and evidence basis for the use of Bioidenical hormones and how they differ from non-Bioidenical hormones and how to safely and effectively treat post-menopausal women with bio identical hormone replacement therapy.
  • Gain an understanding of the evidence based science and recent studies behind how testosterone use may impact adult stem cells and how this impacts age management medicine.
  • Discuss the dynamic process for plaque formation and the relationship to acute cardiac events and which imaging modality is the most sensitive to identify a plaque which places a patient at high risk for a cardiac incident.
  • Identify how, theoretically, adrenal hyperfunction from excessive stress can cause progesterone deficiency and lead to anxiety and mood instability in Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).
  • Describe the protective effects of progesterone and other neuroactive steroids on neurons at a cellular level and the implications of the PROTECT and SYNAPSE trials (IV progesterone use in traumatic brain injury) on the understanding of the importance of progesterone in brain health in both men and women.
  • Identify the role of Oxidative Response Mechanism in Cellular repair and learn how Bio-identical signaling Therapy can be applied to the practice of Age Management Medicine.
  • Discuss the relationship and importance of hormones to mitochondrial health and how to use this information to enhance hormone prescribing to optimally support systemic mitochondrial health.
  • Discuss the Glutathione System and its importance to health and detoxification, using Mercury as a toxin and describe the 3 phases of detoxification and how phytonutrients can “turn on” detoxification. chemoprotection as well as modulate inflammation and angiogenesis.
  • Describe hearing loss and the effect on the general health of patients and apply clinical tools and protocols to care for patients experiencing hearing loss.
