Exploring the Patient Journey: Let’s Talk About ILD and IPF
This series of short- and fast-moving videos are specifically designed for the primary care audience to address the continuing challenges in the early identification of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Each short video includes dynamic animation, high-resolution (HRCT) images, and audio samples of what IPF “sounds like.” Each video builds on the content presented in the previous one.

Biosimilars Are Here… Are You Ready?
With the increasing entry of biosimilars into clinical practice it is important to equip and prepare rheumatologists, dermatologists, and gastroenterologists with information that can provide a context for the appropriate use of biosimilars. This activity offers 9 online modules that focus on appropriate, evidence-based use of biosimilars in Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Learners can jump right into the modules or start by taking a self-assessment to receive an individualized learning plan.

Getting to Goal Can Be Difficult: Advancing T2DM Therapy With Confidence
Your patients are waiting! Learn to optimize glycemic control for T2DM using combination therapies in these dynamic patient cases. Each case provides an opportunity for practice-based learning while experiencing simulated patient visits to manage T2DM with combination therapy. By integrating information gleaned throughout the case, you will make treatment choices, prioritize alternatives, and utilize your clinical judgment in making patient care decisions. Each patient outcome will be individualized based on your choices.

An Update on Fixed-Dose LAMA/LABA Inhalers in COPD
Long-acting bronchodilators are the cornerstone of maintenance therapy for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A variety of long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) and long-acting β2-agonists (LABAs) are available for the management of COPD. An increasing number of fixed-dose LAMA/LABA combinations have been developed and approved; these combinations have the potential to provide synergistic effects through different mechanisms of action, maximize bronchodilation, and simplify COPD treatment regimens. Authored by Richard Casaburi, MD, Gary Ferguson, MD, and David Mannino, MD, this supplement provides a review of the safety and efficacy of current and emerging inhaled fixed-dose LAMA/LABA combinations for patients with COPD.

Schizophrenia Management: Facilitating Evidence-Based Individualized Treatment for Optimal Patient Management
This interactive case-based activity presents 3 different scenarios of patients with schizophrenia and reviews evidence-based approaches for optimizing the management of these patients. Topics covered include polypharmacy, measurement-based care, switching antipsychotics, and a role for long-acting injectable antipsychotics. Each scenario will require participants to review relevant diagnostic and case history; respond to assessment and behavior questions; and make management decisions.

PILOT IPF Interactive Cases
These interactive cases provide an opportunity for analyzing and evaluating actual patient scenarios. Cases outline the patient history, specific pulmonary disease progression information, and are often supplemented with radiographs, PFTs, serology, and biopsy results. Cases include:

• Gwen: A lawyer with a history of MI has a dry cough and trouble with stairs
• Elizabeth: Loves the outdoors but bothered by persistent cough and GERD
• Toni: Too tired to continue teaching and experiencing painful heartburn

Welcome to Biologics and Biosimilars: Preparing for the Future!
This is a series of 7 interactive modules. Each module builds on the content presented in the previous one, so it is highly recommended that you proceed through the curriculum in sequence. As biosimilar guidance evolves in the United States and these biologics are studied and FDA-approved for use, it will be important for clinicians to understand how biosimilars’ characteristics overlap with, and differ from, other available biologic therapies, so that effective treatment selection and monitoring, and related patient education, can be achieved.
