About this app

eCysticFibrosis Review is a no-cost CME program developed by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHUSOM) in partnership with DKBmed. Expert insight and analysis providing information directly relevant to cystic fibrosis care, through topic-focused newsletters summarizing the peer-reviewed literature with accompanying podcasts to illustrate how to apply that information in the clinic.

eCysticFibrosis Review is part of the highly successful eLiterature Review series. Over 50,000 health care providers are subscribed to eLiterature Review in areas such as viral hepatitis, primary care, pulmonology, HIV, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes. Join your colleagues in this highly-rated educational program.

eCysticFibrosis Review Volume 9 covers key topics such as:
-How to screen and have conversations with your patients about their mental health.
-What you should know about the recently approved triple combination modulator.
-Expert analysis of the current trial data for long-term CFTR therapy

It is practically impossible for time-pressed clinicians to stay current with new clinical developments by reading medical literature alone, despite the value of doing so. To address this, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHUSOM), in partnership with DKBmed, has enhanced the way clinicians receive this vital information through our highly successful eLiterature Review series, spanning a variety of disease states and covering a wide range of clinical expertise. The nuances of each disease require a tailored approach to facilitate optimal learning techniques and knowledge retention. In previous eLiterature Review, some programs have been specifically directed to the specialist practitioner (eg, eOphthalmology, eNeonatalogy), but the majority have targeted a combination of both specialists and primary care clinicians that treat patients with chronic disease (eg, eDiabetes, eViralHepatitis).

What clinicians are saying about eCysticFibrosis Review:
“You guys saved my day!”

“I’m always having trouble keeping up with literature – this makes it so much easier!”

“I very much enjoyed the synopses of the studies with the questions after. They really helped me learn the material!”
