Succeeding Under Pressure

Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of sleep medicine clinicians, pulmonologists, neurologists, cardiologists, psychiatrists (MDs, NPs, PAs) who play a pivotal role in the management of adult and pediatric patients with narcolepsy.

Program Overview

Join us for this Interactive Showcase™ in narcolepsy!

Immerse yourself in a dynamic, three-part educational experience designed to engage, inform, and inspire clinical practice change.

Begin with an expert-guided virtual poster tour that highlights emerging insights into the epidemiologic and pathophysiologic connections between narcolepsy and cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risk.

Next, participate in a faculty-led session where experts will translate these findings into clinical context, discussing their practical implications alongside the latest clinical trial data to inform evidence-based evaluation and management of both adult and pediatric patients with narcolepsy.

Conclude with an interactive case-based activity, where you will apply newly acquired knowledge to real-time clinical decision-making in a highly engaging, learner-centered environment.

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding and enhance your approach to managing narcolepsy across patient populations!
