POEMS SYNDROME

Course overview

POEMS syndrome (i.e., polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes) is a rare, poorly understood, potentially fatal disorder associated with multiorgan involvement and plasma cell dyscrasia. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of POEMS syndrome, including its etiology, signs, symptoms, clinical presentation, and treatment, and to aid in caring for patients with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
