Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): An Overview of Symptoms and Current Research

Please join us for a facilitated discussion on myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This activity has been approved for 1.0 hr CME (AAFP #108278) and 1.0 hr CNE (DC Board of Nursing #: 20-1302495). 

This event is co-sponsored by the Johns Hopkins NIOSH Education and Research Center (ERC) and CME/CNE credits are provided by the JHU NIOSH ERC. 

Learning goals: 

  1. Participants will be able to describe the clinical impact of ME/CFS, and how these symptoms contribute to a significant decline in physical and cognitive functioning, leading to a loss of independence and decreased quality of life
  2. Participants will gain understanding of available tools to probe inflammatory biomarkers of ME/CFS
  3. Participants will understand an advanced MRI can discern microstructural changes that may underlie fatigue
  4. Participants will understand impact of orthostatic intolerance on ME/CFS symptoms
