Medical Training AIGLP-1 Prescribing Fundamentals
You'll be able to select appropriate candidates for GLP-1 therapy, choose between agents, and manage titration and side effects with confidence.
What this track covers
This track covers the core clinical decisions behind prescribing GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GIP/GLP-1 agents for weight management, including how they work, how the available products differ, and how to guide patients through treatment. It's built for clinicians who are new to this drug class or want to sharpen day-to-day prescribing judgment.
What you will practice

- Comparing product options and matching them to patient goals
- Sequencing a titration schedule and adjusting for tolerability
