  • Healthy Living Program for Healthcare Professional 2025
    05/08/2025 - 7:00am to 11/08/2025 - 3:00pm
    May 8 - 10, 2025 or July 31 - August 2, 2025 or November 6 - 8, 2025 - Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center - Rochester, Minnesota There is substantial evidence on the role that diet and nutrition, physical activity and exercise, and resiliency plays in preventing and treating chronic diseases and improving quality of life. Traditional CME courses use a classroom-based format to educate healthcare professionals in these areas. However, it is challenging for people to make beneficial lifestyle behavior changes, and education by itself doesn’t necessarily promote behavior change. This course is experiential as well as educational. It is based on the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, a program designed to help people make beneficial lifestyle behavior changes. In this course, attendees learn about lifestyle medicine, and actively participate in classes designed to help create an individualized wellness plan. Learning in this personal manner helps participants counsel patients on making these same healthy behavior changes.
  • Clinical Autonomic Disorders: Case-Based and Laboratory Workshop 2025
    05/30/2025 - 4:00pm to 05/31/2025 - 5:00pm
    May 30 - 31, 2025 - Mayo Clinic - Rochester, Minnesota This course focuses primarily on the three autonomic function tests that have CPT codes. Course lectures focus on underlying physiology, patient preparation, indications for autonomic testing, factors that affect the results of these autonomic tests, and HCFA requirements. The heart of the course demonstrates specific autonomic function tests; including quantitative sudomotor axon reflect tests (QSART), tests of cardiovagal function (heart rate response to deep breathing and to the Valsalva maneuver), and tests of the adrenergic function. Hands-on demonstrations are incorporated. Content on the interpretation of common and uncommon examples of tests is highlighted, in addition to lectures on a number of dysautonomias (POTS, syncope, autoimmune neuropathy; and pain) on which new information is available, or disorders where the autonomic laboratory is responsible for evaluating.
