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

Tune in to find out: Should you use a diabetes medication in a patient without diabetes?
A recent NEJM publication supports the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure but without a diabetes diagnosis. Join October’s Journal Club, lead by Dr. Raven Jackson, PharmD to learn how a historically ‘diabetes drug’ may now benefit a new patient population.

1. Explain the role of dapagliflozin in the treatment of diabetes.
2. Discuss the role of dapagliflozin in the treatment of heart failure
3. Discuss the results and conclusions of a clinical trial
4. Develop treatment recommendations based on the DAPA-HF trial
