Update in Pharmacotherapy for Hypertension
Learn about the updated recommendations for hypertensive management, focusing on drug therapy. Stay informed and clear up confusion in the clinical community.
About this course
In 2014, a much-anticipated update to the 2003 JNC guidelines for hypertensive management were released. The 2014 update was met with mixed responses in the medical community and was further complicated by the results of the SPRINT trial in 2015. To address areas of controversy, a multi-organization consensus guideline was released in 2017. After an 11 year period of consistency, the plethora of guidelines releases has resulted in confusion in the clinical community. This activity will provide a clear overview of updated recommendations with a focus on drug therapy. It is relevant for new and experienced pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, nurses, and advanced practice providers.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
