A new online educational activity from Medscape, “Managing Age-Related Clinical Issues in Hemophilia,” became available on June 11, 2015. The focus of the activity is to cover the challenging spectrum of comorbidities associated with aging in patients with hemophilia, and to discuss effective strategies for their clinical management.
This activity is organized into several topic areas, each representing a condition more often seen in older patients with hemophilia, whose average life expectancy has steadily risen closer to the national average. Brought to you by expert providers within their unique specialties, topics include hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, bone health and the hepatitis C virus. The program is intended for hematologists, nurses, cardiologists, orthopedists, internal medicine physicians, gastroenterologists, hepatologists and infectious disease specialists.
“Managing Age-Related Clinical Issues in Hemophilia” is part of Clinical Advances in Hemophilia: Management for Life, a series of educational activities provided by leading bleeding disorders clinicians. The overarching goal of the program is to increase the knowledge, skills and competence of clinicians in providing individualized management of hemophilia.
The series is presented through a strategic collaboration between the National Hemophilia Foundation and Medscape Education Hematology, and supported by an independent educational grant from Biogen. After completing the activities within this program, available for one year from their release date, those eligible may receive free continuing education (CE) or continuing medical education (CME) credits.
