Hi there! I want to share an exciting new continuing medical education portal I came across while searching for new CME activities. It focuses on diabetes and COPD and is adding activities in hypertension and immunization later this year. It looks to be an exciting resource for physicians and patients who are looking for new cutting edge research, resources and CME activities. Check it out at www.penncmebestpractice.org.

 

• The content is focused on improving care of patients with chronic diseases and includes preventive care.

• Earn as many as 30-40 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM in diabetes and COPD, with activities in hypertension and immunization coming later this year.

• Participation in all of these certified CME activities is free.

• Performance improvement is available for additional 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM

• Tools and resources for physicians, staff, and patients.

Is it discussing some theoretical relationship between COPD and diabetes independent of the excess weight typically associated with type 2 patients, which would be interesting, or is it just about the link between overweight and COPD?
