The purpose of this FREE program is to increase the knowledge, competence, and skills of clinicians who, in accordance with clinical practice guidelines, intensify therapies to optimize timely, sustained glycemic control and initiate and discuss personalized weight management as a key goal for persons with type 2 diabetes to reduce long-term health implications.

Physicians and Physician Assistants 
The American College of Endocrinology (ACE) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The American College of Endocrinology (ACE) designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 3.5 AMA PRA Category 1^TM Credits. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.  

ABIM MOC
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 3.5 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

• Identify methods to intensify therapies to reach timely, sustained glycemic targets and maintain weight or promote weight loss.  
• Apply shared decision-making strategies with sustained glycemic targets and personalized weight management as key goals in persons living with T2D to prevent long-term health implications.

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) remains strongly committed to providing the best available evidence based clinical information to participants of this educational activity and requires an open disclosure of any potential conflict of interest identified by our faculty members. It is not the intent of AACE to eliminate all situations of potential conflict of interest, but rather to enable those who are working with AACE to recognize situations that may be subject to question by others. All disclosed conflicts of interest are reviewed by the CME Subcommittee to ensure that such situations are properly evaluated and, if necessary, resolved. AACE educational standards pertaining to conflict of interest are intended to maintain the professional autonomy of the clinical experts inherent in promoting a balanced presentation of science. Through our review process, all AACE accredited activities are ensured of independent, objective, scientifically balanced presentations of information. Disclosure of any or no relationships will be made available for all educational activities.
