  • Demystifying Menopause: What Providers Should Know
    Fewer than one in five recently polled obstetrics and gynecology residents received formal training in menopause medicine. Other physicians feel similarly ill equipped to adequately treat menopause symptoms. Experts discuss strategies that work.

  • Therapeutic Options in Alzheimer’s Disease
    Physicians must discuss with patients and caregivers the available options using medications to treat Alzheimer’s disease, including their limited clinical benefit, adverse side effects, and associated costs.

  • Pharmacogenomic Treatment Support
    Pharmacogenomics identifies information about a patient’s own genetic makeup, or genome, and then selects the drugs and drug dosages most likely to work for that individual. The process allows physicians to choose medications specifically suited for a particular patient.

  • Diabetes Self-Management Improves Outcomes
    Diabetes self-management programs help patients learn how to manage their disease through appropriate monitoring, medication adherence, diet modifications, and beneficial activity.
