Highs and Lows: High-Yield Non-Diabetic Endocrine Emergencies

Between highs and lows, decisive care saves lives. This on-demand session uses fast, case-driven drills to help you recognize and treat acute adrenal crisis, diagnose and differentiate myxedema coma and thyroid storm from severe counterparts, and manage hypercalcemia, including postoperative and chronic hypocalcemia. You’ll understand risk factors for decompensation, apply evidence-based steps under pressure, and act when non-diabetic endocrine emergencies erupt.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Inpatient Management of Diabetes

Stress hyperglycemia turns routine admissions risky; transform that risk into reliable care. In this rapid update, recognize how inpatient glucose drives infections, ICU use, and length of stay, then apply evidence from landmark trials and ADA standards to design safer targets and replace sliding-scale with basal-based regimens. Master steroid and nutrition scenarios, avoid high-risk agents, consider modern adjuncts, and finish with a discharge playbook and a look to inpatient CGM.
