Join us on the second Wednesday of every month for Journal Club! Each month, you’ll earn 1 hour of live CE, stay up to date with the latest literature, and build your confidence to evaluate the next landmark trial. 

Here’s how it works:
1. Review the Study
2. Complete the Study Guide
3. Discover answers & improve patient care during our Live Webinar

This month we are dissecting an article from The New England Journal of Medicine – Empagliflozin in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. 

The EMPA-KIDNEY trial assessed the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease. Join us LIVE as we discuss, in Journal Club format, the results of the trial and its implication on your patients. 

Upon successful completion of this application-based course, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the pathophysiology and FDA-approved indications of empagliflozin
2. Review the current treatment of chronic kidney disease
3. Discuss the strengths, limitations, and results of the EMPA-KIDNEY trial
4. Evaluate the role of empagliflozin for the progression of chronic kidney disease
5. Apply clinical implications of the EMPA-KIDNEY study to a patient case
