Wellness in Practice: Small Steps with Big Impacts  Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat79 Target AudienceThis activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need Physicians often face challenges in effectively counseling patients on lifestyle changes due to time constraints and lack of training in behavior change techniques. Addressing these gaps is crucial for improving patient outcomes and overall health. By focusing on small, manageable steps, physicians can make a significant difference in their patients' lives without overwhelming them. This podcast will highlight the importance of how providers can recommend manageable changes to their daily habits that can lead to significant long-term health improvements. Objectives Identify small, evidence-based lifestyle changes that can significantly impact patient health outcomes. Describe strategies to incorporate wellness advice into routine clinical visits efficiently, even within time constraints. Recognize common barriers patients face when making lifestyle changes and develop strategies to address these challenges. List actionable steps that providers can take in their own lives to improve their wellness.

Fabry Disease Research Highlights

This program is supported by educational grants from Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. and Chiesi USA Inc.Fabry disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the GLA gene, disrupting the function of the enzyme, α-galactosidase. This results in the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) and its deacylated form, globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-GL-3), leading to progressive disruption of multiple organ systems. There are currently three treatment options available for Fabry disease, including two enzyme replacement therapies, agalsidase beta and pegunigalsidase alfa, and a chaperone therapy, migalastat. There are also other treatments in development (e.g., gene therapy, other enzyme replacement therapies) and some that are available in other countries (e.g., agalsidase alfa). Due to the small patient population and variability in Fabry disease severity, it is challenging to develop properly powered, placebo-controlled clinical trials. As such, data shared at conferences like WORLDSymposium 2025 are crucial for guiding best practices in this disease area. This program, led by Dr. Eric Wallace, provides a summary of clinically relevant data presented at WORLDSymposium 2025 that can enhance the care of patients with Fabry disease.  Target AudienceThis activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians specializing in neurology, nephrology, cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and dermatology.

From front desk protocols to medical assistant roles and procedure planning, simulations help ensure every member of the care team knows what to do - and has what they need - when seconds count. Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP, and guest Stephanie Spanos, MD, explore how to run effective simulations, evaluate your equipment (especially for pediatric-specific needs), and build muscle memory that can save lives.
