Please join Dr. Goldie Peters and Dr. Erin Hennessey for a 1-hour CE activity highlighting selected new medications, all of which have been approved for usage by the FDA within the last 12 months.

This presentation will also highlight any special patient instructions or monitoring parameters for providers to take into account when prescribing these new medications (e.g. injection techniques, priming requirements, etc.). New generic medications will be presented, along with any updated FDA recommendations or recent labeling changes to mainstream medications.
