Chronic Disease Management

Sharpen decision-making for diabetes, hypertension, COPD, and heart failure across initial workup, medication selection, and long-term monitoring.

What this track covers

This track covers the four conditions that dominate primary care panels: type 2 diabetes, hypertension, COPD, and heart failure. It focuses on matching therapy to disease phenotype and patient factors, recognizing when a regimen needs escalation, and coordinating overlapping comorbidities in patients who often have more than one of these conditions at once.

What you will practice

  • Selecting and sequencing glucose-lowering agents based on comorbidities and renal function
  • Choosing first-line and add-on antihypertensives for different patient profiles
  • Distinguishing HFrEF from HFpEF and applying guideline-directed therapy
  • Interpreting COPD severity to guide inhaler choice and exacerbation prevention
  • Recognizing red flags that warrant referral or hospitalization

Simulator scenario

A patient with overlapping diabetes, hypertension, and early heart failure presents for a routine visit with worsening shortness of breath, requiring the clinician to reassess the whole regimen.

Board question topics

  • GDMT sequencing in heart failure
  • Antihypertensive selection by comorbidity
  • GOLD-based COPD inhaler strategy
  • Glucose-lowering agent selection and renal considerations
