Description of CME Course
Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for improving the quality of life and prognosis for those with IEI. Advances in genetic research and therapies continue to improve outcomes for many patients with these disorders.
However, IEI can be challenging for providers. The scope of research related to IEI is prolific. A PubMed® search for the disorder over the last decade resulted in over 9,300 citations. It can be nearly impossible for providers to stay abreast of this magnitude of research, resulting in practice, knowledge and competency gaps.
