ASAP Microlearning Volume 1
Individualized Care Across Six Endocrine Topics
Explore 18 focused, case-based questions covering adrenal and pituitary disorders, bone and calcium, diabetes, lipids and nutrition, reproductive endocrinology, and thyroid disease. Review clinical scenarios, test your knowledge, and read explanations for both correct and incorrect answers. Each case ends with an expert faculty video interview on putting what you’ve learned into practice.
Course overview
Bring your endocrine knowledge into focus with ASAP Microlearning Volume 1. These case-based questions examine clinical decisions across six topic areas, from identifying candidates for screening and selecting treatment to planning follow-up and counseling patients about treatment risks.
Volume 1 emphasizes the nuances that shape individualized care: when to treat or monitor, how patient risk factors influence treatment selection, and how to balance therapeutic benefits against potential harms.
Each case concludes with an exclusive video interview with expert faculty that goes beyond the answer to explore clinical reasoning, key takeaways, evolving evidence, and practical strategies for applying what you’ve learned in everyday patient care.
Topics you’ll explore
- Adrenal & Pituitary: Which patients to screen for primary aldosteronism, oral octreotide as a maintenance option in acromegaly, and surgical planning for MEN1-associated primary hyperparathyroidism.
- Calcium & Bone: Treatment selection in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, reassessing surgical candidacy in primary hyperparathyroidism, and initial therapy after a recent vertebral fracture.
- Diabetes & Hypoglycemia: Ongoing diabetes self-management education and support, preventive foot care for patients with loss of protective sensation, and recognition of autonomic neuropathy.
- Lipids, Obesity & Nutrition: Nonstatin therapy after statin intolerance, lipoprotein(a) as a cardiovascular risk enhancer, and evidence linking ultra-processed foods to health risks.
- Reproduction: Diagnostic evaluation of polycystic ovary syndrome, long-term monitoring during feminizing hormone therapy, and fertility counseling before testosterone treatment.
- Thyroid: Hearing-related adverse effects of teprotumumab, active surveillance for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, and individualized management of subclinical hypothyroidism in older adults.
