As we celebrate over three decades of impact by Dow Medical College graduates worldwide, this live, one-hour accredited CME session, titled "Challenge of Edema," features a keynote speaker with expertise in healthcare. The session focuses on the future of diagnostic tools, ethical implications, and transformation of medical practice through emerging technologies.

1. Identify the common and uncommon etiologies of edema through a structured clinical framework.
2. Differentiate between localized and generalized edema based on history, physical examination, and initial laboratory findings.
3. Apply evidence-based guidelines to select appropriate diagnostic tests, including the role of imaging and biomarkers.
4. Formulate a management plan tailored to the underlying cause of edema (e.g., cardiac, renal, hepatic, or lymphatic).
5. Recognize red flags and indications for urgent referral or specialist consultation. Improve clinical decision-making to avoid unnecessary interventions and enhance patient outcomes.
