Register today to attend live webinar on ACE inhibitors and ARBs in hypertensive diabetic patients

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will be launching a series of educational webinars for health care providers to discuss two pharmacy-related Medicare Stars measures — high risk medications in older adults and the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers in hypertensive diabetics.

The first webinar, to be held on July 16, 2014, at 7:30 a.m., will address the use of ACE inhibitors and ARBs in hypertensive diabetic patients. It will be conducted by Dr. William Herman, director of the Michigan Center for Diabetes Translational Research and associate medical director at Blue Care Network. The 30-minute webinar will be followed by a question-and-answer session.

You’ll receive a confirmation email within 72 hours of registering. Instructions on how to access the webinar via WebEx will be sent in the confirmation email or prior to the webinar.
