Cushing syndrome is a complex, multisystemic condition that remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, with serious consequences for patient health and quality of life. This case-based program will equip clinicians with practical strategies to recognize both typical and atypical presentations, improve timely diagnosis, and develop individualized treatment plans that integrate emerging therapies and long-term monitoring approaches. Faculty will also emphasize the importance of compassionate communication and collaboration within a multidisciplinary care team, using shared decision-making to optimize patient outcomes.
The intended audience for this eudcaitonal activity is endocrinologists, physician associates, nurse practitioners, and allied healthcare professionals who specialize in the management of Cushing syndrome.
1. Examine the broad spectrum of Cushing syndrome, including cases with and without tumors, as well as atypical clinical presentations, to improve early diagnosis.

2. Develop individualized, patient-centered treatment plans integrating emerging therapies for monitoring improvements in symptoms using long term follow-up strategies.

3. Foster compassionate communication with patients and collaboration within a multi-disciplinary care team, using shared decision-making across specialties to improve care
