Clinical practice guidelines change over time as our knowledge of disease states evolve. Endocrinology is a complex subdiscipline of internal medicine characterized by a rapid turnover of knowledge. Trainees should, however, be familiar with landmark clinical trials in the field. This course will introduce you to some essential practice-changing clinical trials in diabetes care and endocrinology. This introductory course to landmark trials in diabetes care and endocrinology.
Landmark Trials
Know the most important clinical trials in endocrinology.
Rationale
Clinical equipoise (i.e lack of consensus in the scientific community) is the usual starting point for most randomized trials.
Poster style presentation
Simplified poster style illustrations to facilitate a review of the core message in each landmark trial
Practice changing pearls
Emphasis is placed on not only the key message of each selected trial but also its impact in terms of guideline recommendations.
PICO Model
All visual illustrations are presented in the standard P.I.C.O model i.e Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcomes.
