ForwardEnduring Activity: Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group-USA Speaker Series: Treatment Strategies and Recommendations for the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Down Syndrome - Diet and Nutrition Care Interventions
Overview
The Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group-USA (DSMIG-USA®) Speaker Series consists of webinars and enduring materials designed to share knowledge and experience related to the care of children and adults with Down syndrome, and clinical research related to Down syndrome.
Intended Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, therapists, and other health care providers who work with individuals with Down syndrome.
Statement of Need
The recommendations for medical care for individuals with Down syndrome is constantly evolving. Although current health supervision guidelines exist, there are large gaps in the knowledge about optimal care practices. Training in caring for individuals with Down syndrome is often limited in medical schools and residency programs. Health care providers with in-depth knowledge about caring for individuals with Down syndrome are limited in number and providing an opportunity for those experts to share their knowledge can be beneficial to others caring for people with Down syndrome.
Series Objectives
As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will:
- Identify best practice management strategies for individuals with Down syndrome and their caregivers
- Recognize and discuss trends, with interprofessional colleagues, in care for people with Down syndrome
- Formulate best practice care plans with interprofessional colleagues to incorporate into their practice
Elements of Competence
This activity has been designed to change learner competence and focuses on the American Board of Medical Specialties areas of patient care and procedural skills, medical knowledge, and practice-based learning and improvement, in addition to the interprofessional competencies of roles and responsibilities, interprofessional communication, and teams and teamwork.
