Strategies to Fill the Gaps in Nutrition Education for Health Professionals through Continuing Medical Education
AbstractPurpose of ReviewRecent studies have documented that diet quality in the US is poor and linked to higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), other non-communicable diseases, and total mortality. As a result, nutrition counseling in clinical practice is an evidence-based strategy endorsed by numerous stakeholders. However, medical nutrition education (MNE) in the US has been inadequate, and physician knowledge, competencies, and practices related to diet counseling have been documented to be insufficient. National scientific meetings and conferences offer opportunities to translate new scientific evidence, guidel...

Knowledge of PCSK9 and Continued Educational Gaps: Evaluating the Impact of Continuing Medical Education
This study evaluated the impact of continuing medical education (CME) on increasing knowledge and awareness of the role of PCSK9 in lipid metabolism and analyzed persistent educational gaps to determine needs for future education. For cardiologists who participated in the CME activity, comparison of individually linked preassessment question responses to their respective postassessment question responses demonstrated improvement (n = 83; P

Abstract 228: Targeted Treatment of SIHD: Effectiveness of Personalized Learning-Based Medical Education Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: The statistically significant improvements in competence and performance of physicians observed in this study demonstrate the benefits of using personalized educational design to address clinicians’ individual learning needs in management of patients with SIHD. This type of intervention can translate into improvements in patient care. This assessment also suggests that additional education is needed to further narrow clinical gaps regarding risk assessment, optimizing medical therapy, the use of patient-directed tools, and strategies to address adherence in patients with SIHD.

Personalized, assessment ‐based, and tiered medical education curriculum integrating treatment guidelines for atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsThe participant population (N = 3421) achieved statistically significant improvement across the curriculum, with LAP learners showing greater performance gains compared to non‐LAP learners. These findings support the value of the LAP methodology in providing a cumulative and individualized CME experience.
