CME Escape Room: Putting Together Clues in HIV, CVD, T2D, and CKD: Escaping Management Mishaps

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of US and ex-US infectious disease and HIV specialist physicians, NPs, and PAs involved in the treatment of patients with HIV.

Program Overview
As people with HIV live longer, they can develop common comorbidities affecting aging patients, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Further, weight gain may be seen in some patients, though the role of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is still under investigation. Clinicians should become familiar with treatment guidelines, drug-drug interactions, and techniques for shared decision-making to manage aging patients with HIV and common comorbidities. Learners will be guided through this interactive escape room format by Drs. Laura Waters and David Wohl to understand the background of the relationships between T2D, obesity, CVD, and CKD; ART selection for patients with common comorbidities; considerations for use of other medications to manage T2D, CVD, and CKD; and strategies to incorporate trauma-informed care.
