Purpose: Audio-Digest Foundation CME/CE activities are designed to provide its learners – physicians and other healthcare professionals – with continuing education that will help identify clinical problems in their practice settings, provide content to help to solve those problems, and increase their application of knowledge to practice.
Audio-Digest Internal Medicine is specifically designed to provide the participant with state-of-the-art information on, including, but not limited to, the diagnosis and management of:
Gastroenterology
Hematology and medical oncology
Rheumatology
Pulmonary and critical care medicine
Endocrinology
Infectious disease
Nephrology and hypertension

Geriatric medicine
The goals of this program are to improve the diagnosis and management of celiac disease (CD) and to improve the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1: Distinguish among the features of classic, atypical, and silent CD.
2: Use serologic testing to screen for CD and monitor adherence to a gluten-free diet.
3: Identify patients who should be tested for CD.
4: Consider prescribing PPIs as first-line therapy for many gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms.
5: Counsel women of childbearing age about the possible risks associated with the use of PPIs.
