    The “Obesity: Etiology, Prevention, and Treatment” CME course provides a comprehensive, evidence-based education in the pathophysiology, prevention, and clinical management of obesity across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults. Participants will explore genetic, hormonal, and epidemiologic drivers of obesity, behavioral and environmental influences, advanced treatment strategies including pharmacological, endoscopic, and surgical interventions, and practical tools for real-world case management. With an emphasis on person-first, bias-free language and an integrated, multidisciplinary approach, the course equips clinicians with actionable skills to improve outcomes in patients with obesity and related comorbidities.  For physicians preparing for certification through the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM), this course satisfies the ABOM requirement of at least 30 CME credits on the topic of obesity from a GROUP ONE partner organization.

  • 3rd International Tremor Congress

    Thursday, April 30, 2026 to Friday, May 1, 2026
    All day
    Off-campus Tampa Marriott Water Street, Tampa, Florida
    • College of Physicians and Surgeons
    The meeting addresses an important need for a comprehensive, academic educational program providing the latest information on innovations, insights on the latest science, and translation of the science to patient care. The conference is also consistent with the national call of the Precision Medicine Initiative for health care providers to pursue new approaches that tailor treatment to the individual patient’s characteristics because patient response to conventional treatments for tremor is often variable; therefore, education on new surgical and medical advancements that account for individual differences can optimize outcomes for patients with tremor. In addition, to understand the heterogeneity of tremor disorders will help to design and conduct robust clinical trials to push forward therapy development. At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be better able to: • Formulate an evidence-based approach to optimize the treatment for tremor disorders. • Develop evidence-based scientific knowledge for the future clinical study design in tremor disorders. • Describe the up-do-date clinical diagnosis and treatment in each tremor disorder. • Indicate the cutting-edge scientific discovery for tremor and also current tremor therapy development.

    PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES The course is designed to assist nephrologists and renal pathologists (including nephrology and renal pathology trainees) in diagnosing and managing the most common forms of medical renal disease, including diseases that target the glomerulus, tubules, interstitium, and blood vessels. The activity will span three days and include lectures covering the following content areas: Nephrotic syndrome, Nephritic syndrome, Genetics, Tubulointerstitial, Vascular Disease, Transplant & Dysproteinemia. These lectures will be delivered live in front of an audience but also streamed simultaneously for virtual participants; all participants will have access to these lectures for 3 months after the conference. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to:  • Identify the role of complement in the pathophysiology of glomerular diseases and how novel complement-targeting therapies can fit into treatment patterns. • Enhance diagnostic suspicion for a genetically mediated form of glomerular disease and facilitate rapid referral for genetic testing. • Assess which patients would benefit from repeat biopsies in the management of their glomerular diseases.
