What You’ll Learn

GLP-1 & GIP Receptor Agonists: A Clinical Foundation

This free module covers the essentials every prescriber needs before adding semaglutide or tirzepatide to their practice. Evidence-based, CME-accredited, and self-paced.

01

What Is GLP-1?

The gut hormone that drives blood sugar control and appetite regulation—and why it is the basis for commonly prescribed weight-loss medications.

02

Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide

Compare Wegovy® and Zepbound® by mechanism, efficacy, and FDA approval status for informed prescribing decisions.

03

Clinical Trial Evidence

Review key findings from SURMOUNT-1 and SURMOUNT-2 and what they can mean for patient conversations.

04

Mechanism of Action

Understand how GLP-1 and GIP agonists increase insulin secretion, suppress glucagon, slow gastric emptying, and boost satiety.
