The program delivers an intensive, evidence-based review and clinical update across major subspecialties of internal medicine—including Cardiology, Neurology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Nephrology, Pulmonology, Infectious Diseases, Hematology/Oncology, and Rheumatology, as well as Geriatrics, Palliative Care, Dermatology, Urology, Otolaryngology, Ophthalmology, Gynecology, and Sports/Addiction Medicine—making it ideal for both board preparation and daily clinical practice.

2. Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

• Apply contemporary evidence-based guidelines for the evaluation and management of cardiovascular disorders, including arrhythmias, acute coronary syndromes (STEMI/NSTEMI), heart failure, valvular heart disease, lipid disorders, cardiac amyloidosis, aortic aneurysms, and resistant hypertension.

• Diagnose and manage neurological emergencies and chronic neurological conditions such as acute stroke, seizures, migraines, syncope, delirium, and Alzheimer’s disease.

• Implement algorithmic and updated therapeutic approaches for endocrine and metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes, obesity pharmacotherapy, thyroid and adrenal disorders, and metabolic bone diseases.

• Evaluate and treat common and complex gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary conditions, including upper/lower GI complaints, GI bleeding, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cirrhosis, MASLD, cholestatic liver disease, pancreatic disease, and colorectal cancer screening.

• Manage renal, electrolyte, and genitourinary conditions, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), glomerular diseases, nephrolithiasis, sodium/potassium disorders, recurrent UTIs, and male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

• Formulate diagnostic and treatment strategies for pulmonary diseases (COPD, asthma biologics, interstitial lung disease, chronic cough, sleep-related breathing disorders) and infectious diseases (HIV, STIs, community-acquired pneumonia, infective endocarditis, healthcare-associated infections, Long COVID, and emerging viral infections).

• Recognize and manage hematologic and oncologic conditions—including leukemias, lymphomas, myeloma, breast and lung cancer, thromboembolic disease, novel cell therapies, and oncologic emergencies—as well as rheumatologic/autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout, spondyloarthritis, IgG4-related disease, and vasculitis.

• Integrate practical multidisciplinary updates across perioperative medicine, geriatrics, palliative care, musculoskeletal medicine, opioid use disorder, cutaneous infections, contraception, otolaryngology, and ophthalmology into primary and inpatient care.
