Free CME activity in Cystic Fibrosis

Click here for a free CME/ CPD activity in Cystic Fibrosis from Elsevier.

CPD content overview:

Current Strategies for the Long-term Assessment, Monitoring, and Management of Cystic Fibrosis Patients Treated with CFTR Modulator Therapy

The content for this activity is based on the satellite symposium, “Current Strategies for the Long-term Assessment, Monitoring, and Management for Cystic Fibrosis Patients Treated with CFTR Modulator Therapy” that was presented at the 39th European Cystic Fibrosis Society Conference in Basel, Switzerland on June 10, 2016. The emergence of novel targeted agents, that directly correct CFTR loss function alleles, has created new treatment opportunities for patients with cystic fibrosis with advanced disease. Knowledge of the role of these agents in the clinical setting is quickly evolving and will require physicians stay acquainted with the latest data as well as evidence-based treatment guidelines in order to achieve optimized cystic fibrosis patient care.
