1 PROGRAMA CIENTÍFICO 2015 CME Africa Tour Clinical Chronic Diseases Management - Diabetes and Hypertension 14 October University of Namibia - Windhoek, Namibia

2 2015 CME Africa Tour Clinical Chronic Diseases Management - Diabetes and Hypertension Aim Diabetes and hypertension are growing epidemics in the most of the African continent that are rapidly adopting western lifestyles. The EXCEMED Excellence in Medical Education, has an ongoing, long-term educational project to provide additional focused training workshops for health care professionals in the host countries. EXCEMED hopes that by prioritising diabetes and hypertension it will be possible to increase understanding and the awareness of the opportunities for preventing these conditions. Hypertension and its sequelae will be explored in detail, including its diagnosis, the potential end-organ damage such as CHD, stroke and peripheral vascular disease, and the possible treatment modalities and their effects. Diabetes will also be a major focus and teaching will include aetiology, complications (both macrovascular and microvascular) and treatment options. Acute metabolic presentations of diabetes and their inpatient treatment will also be covered. Participants will then be able to learn more about the interaction between diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension and the importance of multiple interventions in their management. The current state of detection and prevention of these conditions in the local economy will be examined and students will explore models of the future development of services. The CME tour will provide a mixture of taught and interactive sessions. The taught lectures will be presented by a speaker supported by slides, but will include ample opportunity for students to ask questions. The interactive sessions will centre on discussions of individual cases, and each will be presented by a student with a faculty member who will discuss the case interactively with the students by eliciting the ideas on differential diagnosis, investigations and management strategies. Sessions will be taught not only by the visiting faculty but also by teaching staff from the host universities. Students will have the opportunity during this live educational course to reflect on the factual knowledge that has been provided and will be able to deepen and extend their knowledge through direct contact with the faculty. Learning objectives By attending the CME tour, students will be able to: Describe the developing epidemic of obesity, hypertension and diabetes and their sequelae Interpret the nature, aetiology, diagnosis and cardiovascular complications and treatment of (i) hypertension and (ii) diabetes Identify the specific chronic complications of diabetes that will contribute to its major health burden Differentiate acute metabolic presentations of diabetes and their inpatient treatment Identify the current state of detection and prevention of hypertention and diabetes in the local economy and models of future development of services, together with the potential impact on their medical careers Target audience This live educational course is appropriate for undergraduate students, endocrinologists, diabetologists, cardiologists, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients with diabetes or hypertension.
