Activity Overview
Intended Audience: Endocrinologists, primary care physicians, and their clinical teams of NPs, PAs, nurses, and pharmacists
Take part in this engaging video activity as two patients with acromegaly share their personal stories and provide insight on the everyday challenges, care experiences, and impact on quality of life associated with living with this rare and burdensome disorder.
Responding to the patient testimonials, two acromegaly experts will provide an overview of acromegaly's pathophysiology, diverse clinical manifestations, and best diagnostic practices, as well as engage in in-depth discussions on the latest guidelines and clinical evidence for current and emerging acromegaly treatments, approaches to personalize treatment to the needs and goals of individual acromegaly patients, and leading strategies for effective care coordination and patient engagement.
