PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

APEA Clinical Briefs deliver continuing education through a concise article framed around a case example.

It provides details on the diagnosis, including etiology, incidence, risk factors, and evidence-based management choices. Each Clinical Brief concludes with a plan of care for the patient described in the CE offering, and it incorporates pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments.
