What You’ll Learn
This free module covers the essentials every prescriber needs before adding semaglutide or tirzepatide to their practice. Evidence-based, CME-accredited, and self-paced.
What Is GLP-1?
The gut hormone that drives blood sugar control and appetite regulation — and why it’s the basis for the most-prescribed weight loss medications.
Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide
Compare Wegovy® and Zepbound® by mechanism, efficacy, and FDA approval status so you can make informed prescribing decisions.
Clinical Trial Evidence
Key findings from SURMOUNT-1 and SURMOUNT-2 — including up to 25% body weight loss — and what they mean for your patients.
Mechanism of Action
How GLP-1 and GIP agonists increase insulin secretion, suppress glucagon, slow gastric emptying, and boost satiety — explained for patient education.
