Leading experts will provide insight and tools for endocrinology specialists to address the treatment challenges in growth hormone deficiency. Learners will strengthen their knowledge and competency with the diagnosis and management of GHD, including incorporating long-acting growth hormone therapy into the care of adult and pediatric patients. Learners will also be equipped with practical strategies to help patients enhance their adherence to GH therapy, especially for young adults as they transition to adult care.

This program is intended for adult and pediatric endocrinology specialists (MDs, NPs, PAs), primary care/family medicine providers (MDs, NPs, PAs), scientists, researchers, and other healthcare professionals (HCPs) who manage adult and pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD)

Upon completing this activity, learners should be able to: 
  • Apply the appropriate diagnostic tests to a patient with a high suspicion of GHD
  • Evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-acting growth hormone therapies in pediatric and adult patients with GHD
  • Develop comprehensive treatment plans for patients with GHD, including agent selection, dosing, and monitoring
  • Implement strategies to improve treatment adherence and transitions of care for patients with GHD
