The latest online educational activity from Medscape, “The Management of Hemophilia: A Primer,” became available on Tuesday, June 2, 2015. The focus of this activity is to review the diagnosis, management and prognosis for patients with hemophilia. Participants who complete the activity will be able to identify hemophilia and corresponding severity, distinguish between an on-demand and prophylaxis-based approach to treatment and discuss strategies for managing joint bleeds. Lastly, participants will be in a position to match “patient scenarios” with treatment strategies that best ensure adherence, efficacy and quality of life.
This activity is part of Clinical Advances in Hemophilia: Management for Life, a series of educational activities provided by leading bleeding disorders clinicians. It is intended for hematologists, pediatricians, nurses and other healthcare professionals who have patients with hemophilia. The overarching goal of the program is to increase the knowledge, skills and competence of clinicians in providing individualized management of hemophilia.
The series is presented through a strategic collaboration between the National Hemophilia Foundation and Medscape Education Hematology, and supported by an independent educational grant from Biogen. After completing the activities within this program, available for one year from their release date, those eligible may receive free continuing education (CE) or continuing medical education (CME) credits.
