Endocrinologists, specifically fellows early in their careers, need to know how to choose and optimally use incretin therapies that have activity against common comorbidities in type 2 diabetes (T2D), including obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). All too often, therapeutic inertia by endocrinologists significantly delays needed treatment intensification, putting people with T2D at risk for poor outcomes. Additionally, controlling hyperglycemia and preventing or mitigating chronic complications are key goals of diabetes management, yet the major focus by endocrinologists is A1C reduction, sometimes to the exclusion of other risk factors or conditions. Intensive training based in science and case scenarios will prepare fellows to be confident in their knowledge and skills as they move into community settings. This immersive, early career program offers fellows the opportunity to interact with nationally recognized T2D experts in both didactic and small-group settings. The discussion will focus on strategies to better assess the impact of obesity with elevated AC1 and other cardiometabolic risk factors on patients with T2D, evaluate the benefits of GLP-1 RA and GIP/GLP-1 RA incretin therapies, and incorporate evidence-based intensification strategies and therapies to the care of individuals with T2D.
