and Thyroid Disease 2012 

Why You Should Attend 

Because the majority of people with diabetes and thyroid 

disease are cared for by their primary care providers, PCPs 

need a comprehensive review and update on clinical 

management to provide optimal care. This annual CME 

course, initiated more than century ago by Elliott P. Joslin, 

MD, in conjunction with Harvard Medical School, is the 

longest-running academic course in diabetes in the United 

States and, likely, the world. The course has evolved with 

diabetes practice and research as well as the changing 

continuing education needs of the medical profession, 

incorporating participant interaction in smaller breakout 

sessions, interactive workshops, and question-and-answer 

opportunities for a dynamic learning experience. 

This year, to mark the 90th 

anniversary of the first use of insulin, 

the course will highlight both the 

history of and the latest developments 

in insulin treatment. 

Topics 

• Thyroid and parathyroid diseases 

• Obesity 

• What the PCP needs to know about 

• Lifestyle approaches 

• Noninsulin medications 

• Insulin 

• Diabetes complications 

• Prevention of type 2 diabetes 

• Special populations 

• And more! 

2 Advances in Diabetes and Thyroid Disease 2012 

Learning Objectives 

Upon completion of this activity, 

participants will be able to: 

• Describe recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology 

of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as comorbidities 

of these conditions 

• Describe advances in research related to the treatment of 

diabetes and related conditions that have translated into 

improved glucose control, complication prevention/treatment, 

and quality of life for people living with this condition 

• Demonstrate skills in advancing therapies for glycemic control 

aimed at achieving recommended treatment targets 

• Identify specific changes that they will make in their practices 

regarding care of people with diabetes and comorbidities 

based on updated knowledge of state-of-the-art treatment 

approaches 

• List improvements in skills in caring for people with diabetes 

and related conditions based on participation in presentations 

and discussions of clinical case scenarios 

• Describe the incidence, clinical impact, and morbidity of 

hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid dysfunction during 

pregnancy, and thyroid nodules 

• Discuss methods to diagnose hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, 

thyroid dysfunction affecting pregnancy, and thyroid 

nodules when they are encountered in primary care practice 

• Summarize approaches to treatment and/or collaborative 

interventions for hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and thyroid 

nodules.

What your colleagues are saying about 

Advances in Diabetes and Thyroid Disease 

“This was one of the best conferences I have 

attended in my entire career. It was a realistic 

view of the diabetic patient as well as the thyroid 

patient. The speakers were very knowledgeable and 

able to articulate their knowledge well.” 

“It gave me some food for thought about a few 

difficult patients that I have not known how to 

follow. Thank you.” 

“Very helpful. I look forward to using the online 

resources as well.” 

“I love the practical approach and pearls.” 

“Providers are up to date and part of ongoing 

research on the topic. The case-based workshops 

on oral meds and insulin were especially helpful.”
