Part 1 - Clinical Training
3 Days
 37 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™

Part 1 reveals the scope, theory and practice of age management medicine (AMM)—including synergistic components, nutrition and exercise. The course discusses preventive medicine, (including risk factors and the role oxidation and inflammation play in degenerative diseases) and describes evaluation of the aging adult and the laboratory panel. The course also explores the legal issues relating prescribing hGH and treatment protocols for appropriate therapy.

You will experience three full days of case studies discussions with expert faculty as well as your peers. These case studies concern patients on their initial evaluations as well as those receiving continuing and follow-up care. Through this process you will acquire diagnostic and treatment skills necessary to add age management medicine (AMM) into your new or existing practice. 

Outcome Objectives:  After completing Part I of the AMM Physician Training, the physician will be able to…

  • Apply the general concepts and specific components of Age Management Medicine to their specific practice
  • Describe the role inflammation plays in disease development, and implement appropriate care to prevent or mitigate it.
  • Educate patients in the importance of exercise and fitness, and develop plans to help patients apply these concepts into their life style and health management routines
  • Learn how to write an Exercise Prescription for individualized patient care
  • Develop methods of applying high Intensity Interval training into the patient’s Exercise Prescription
  • Educate patients on the components of a low glycemic diet and how it helps combat inflammation
  • Assist patients with integration of a low glycemic diet into their daily nutritional intake
  • Prescribe the correct nutraceuticals and supplements in a patient’s nutritional plan
  • Conduct an Executive Health Evaluation (EHE)
  • interpret  DEXA, NCA ,V02  and correlating lab results
  • Formulate and implement a treatment plan based on the results of the EHE
  • Explain to patients the basics of female endocrine physiology how it relates to health and wellness
  • Recognize and treat estrogen dominance
  • Recognize and treat hypoandrogenism in men
  • Implement the Age Management Medicine approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy / Menopausal Hormone Therapy (HRT, MHT) appropriately into patient care regimes including Testosterone, DHEA, Growth Hormone and Thyroid deficiency in men, and Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone, DHEA, Growth Hormone and Thyroid deficiency in women
  • Utilize the diagnostic and treatment concepts in both the male and female clinical Case Study Presentations as a learning application tool for formulating similar programs in their own practices
  • Implement the Age Management Medicine concepts into their own practices, and be able to determine the effectiveness of these programs with their patients

Practice Development Training
 


Materials in the home-study subsets examine the signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis and treatment of the aging adult. Once completed, clinical evaluation and patient management for an AMM program follows, including initial evaluations and follow-up consults, resembling a mini-residency. In addition, the home-study materials explore proven methods to incorporate AMM into an existing or new medical practice, including space and staffing requirements and creating the Executive Health Evaluation process.
Accreditation
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of the Foundation for Care Management (FCM) and Cenegenics Education and Research Foundation (CERF).

FCM is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. FCM designates this educational activity for a maximum of 37 AMA PRA Category 1 creditsTM Physicians may claim only those hours engaged in the activity.
