QUIZ
EVALUATION
CERTIFICATE
Credit Hours: CME 0.75
Faculty, residents, fellows, and community physicians in General Internal Medicine and subspecialties.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the physiologic mechanism limiting successful and long-term weight loss.
- Describe the effect of caloric restriction on the components of energy balance
- Identify the variables associated with greater weight loss
- Identify that patients with cutaneous vasculitis have markedly diminished health related quality of life across multiple domains.
- Recognize that skin vasculitis has a significant impact on patient wellbeing, symptoms, and self-perception of health.
- Describe the health-related quality of life impact of skin disease in vasculitis to help improve clinical decision-making
- Describe Impact of ultra-processed food in IBD
- List the barriers of studying diet in IBD
- Recognize that the TRL-c levels measured by VAP are independently associated with the global cognitive performance and executive function
- Explain how lipid-induced neurovascular injury and inflammation could play a role in cognitive decline
Please join us for Resident Research Grand Rounds on Tuesday, November 1. Four of our outstanding internal medicine residents will present their research spanning a wide range of topics within the subspecialties of internal medicine.
