Activity Information

Needs Statement

Physicians, residents, fellows, students, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other healthcare professionals need to be regularly updated on the advances in guidelines, basic science and clinical research, treatment modalities and management strategies for patients with diabetes. The series aims to increase knowledge and skills of the learners in these topic areas in order to enhance the quality of care and improve patient outcomes.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of the session, the participants should be able to:

  • Recognize the role of myeloid cells in modulating hypothalamic control of energy balance in the context of obesity.
  • Demonstrate greater understanding of the concept of early-life hypothalamic programming and the potential role of myeloid cells in this process.
  • Discern the heterogeneity of myeloid populations in the brain.
  • Review how single-cell transcriptomics can be applied to hypothalamic myeloid cell types to determine specific nutrient-responsive populations and pathways regulating neuronal and metabolic function.

Disclosure Policy

Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. BCM is committed to sponsoring CE activities that are scientifically based, accurate, current, and objectively presented.

In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, BCM has implemented a mechanism requiring everyone in a position to control the content of an educational activity (i.e., directors, planning committee members, faculty) to disclose any relevant financial relationships with commercial interests (drug/device companies) and manage/resolve any conflicts of interest prior to the activity. Individuals must disclose to participants the existence or non-existence of financial relationships at the time of the activity or within 24 months prior.

In addition, BCM has requested activity faculty/presenters to disclose to participants any unlabeled use or investigational use of pharmaceutical/device products; to use scientific or generic names (not trade names) in referring to products; and, if necessary to use a trade name, to use the names of similar products or those within a class. Faculty/presenters have also been requested to adhere to the ACCME's validation of clinical content statements.

BCM does not view the existence of financial relationships with commercial interests as implying bias or decreasing the value of a presentation. It is up to participants to determine whether the relationships influence the activity faculty with regard to exposition or conclusions. If at any time during this activity you feel that there has been commercial/promotional bias, notify the Activity Director or Activity Coordinator. Please answer the questions about balance and objectivity in the activity evaluation candidly.

All of the relevant financial relationships listed for these individuals have been mitigated.
