BALTIMORE, MD—September 9, 2014—Med-IQ, an award-winning, ACCME-accredited provider of continuing medical education (CME), is pleased to announce the availability of a free CME Webcast to help clinicians identify and treat common men’s health issues.

With the aging of the population and increasing prevalence of diabetes and obesity in the United States, clinicians on the frontlines of primary care practice need to fully understand the complex relationship between common men’s health issues and cardiometabolic disorders. In this Webcast, Tackling Taboos: Optimizing the Management of Men’s Health Through Evidence-Based Care and Effective Patient Communication, the use of realistic physician-patient interactions provides an opportunity for expert faculty to highlight the challenges of identifying and treating hypogonadism, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and erectile dysfunction in male patients. Participants will gain the tools necessary to develop evidence-based strategies for overcoming the fear and embarrassment that often accompany conversations about these conditions, develop appropriate management plans, and improve patients’ quality of life.

"Erectile dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and hypogonadism are conditions commonly associated with male aging, yet they remain under-recognized and undertreated," said Matt T. Rosenberg, medical director at MidMichigan Health Centers. "This Webcast offers healthcare professionals strategies for improving overall patient health while effectively engaging men as partners in their own care."
