BALTIMORE, MD—August 7, 2014—Med-IQ, an award-winning, ACCME-accredited provider of continuing medical education (CME), invites healthcare professionals to participate in this series of three 30-minute interactive Webisodes, Clinical Cliffhangers^SM: Achieving Optimal Diabetes Care.

Achieving optimal glycemic control and being able to identify the barriers that can lead to clinical inertia is critical for healthcare professionals when treating patients with type 2 diabetes. Med-IQ is offering this complimentary, online CME series to give participants evidence- and guideline-based recommendations for developing  comprehensive care plans that include incretin- and insulin-based therapies. The series follows the progression of a patient with type 2 diabetes through different treatment options and discusses the benefits and implications of choosing various therapeutic approaches. Each Webisode ends at a key decision point or clinical complication, giving healthcare professionals the opportunity to apply clinical knowledge to “real-life” case scenarios.

“As the prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to grow in the United States, recognizing the importance of more aggressive treatment strategies has become increasingly important for primary care professionals,” says Dace Trence, MD, Director of the Diabetes Care Center at the University of Washington in Seattle. “Participants in this Clinical Cliffhangers^SM series will gain strategies for developing more effective individualized treatment plans that lead to optimal glycemic control.”
