The Cortisol Connection: Screening and Targeted Therapy

This CME/CE activity addresses the diagnostic and management challenges of endogenous hypercortisolism, a condition frequently masked by common metabolic comorbidities in primary care. Learners will refine their clinical intuition to identify discriminatory red flags that distinguish hypercortisolism from metabolic syndrome, ultimately reducing diagnostic delays through appropriate biochemical screening. Through a series of interactive case studies, the curriculum explores the evolving therapeutic landscape, specifically focusing on the shift from older, non-selective medical therapies to targeted glucocorticoid receptor antagonism. Participants will gain practical insights into managing patients across the entire continuum of care, including monitoring for complex drug-drug interactions and mitigating class-specific side effects.
