Target Audience
This CME activity is designed to meet the educational needs of pediatric and adult endocrinologists, pediatricians, oncologists, and other HCPs who may contribute to the multidisciplinary team, such as radiologists, pathologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants interested in increasing their knowledge regarding XLH and TIO, as well as to improve competence in diagnosing and treating these diseases.
Program Overview
This CME-accredited on-demand webinar will highlight therapeutic advances for managing patients with XLH and TIO. Dr. Kathryn Dahir, a key opinion leader in the field of endocrinology, will first cover clinical characteristics, including best practices for management, followed by recent clinical trial data addressing the FGF23 link between both disorders. Devising treatment plans that incorporate the latest developments in the management of these disorders will also be addressed.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Increase knowledge regarding the etiology and pathogenesis of FGF-23 mediated phosphate disorders.
- Identify clinical manifestations and diagnostic methods to make a timelier diagnosis of XLH and TIO.
- Assess recent developments in the treatment of these two FGF-23 linked disorders
- Effectively integrate new evidence-based treatment strategies into clinical practice
