Course Description
Who Should Attend?
n Physicians
n Osteopathic Physicians
n Nurse Practitioners
n Physician Assistants
n Other clinicians who care
for patients in primary care
practice settings
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course,
you will be able to:
n Evaluate cutting edge,
contemporary guidelines and
standards for screening in
primary care across multiple
disciplines.
n Demonstrate competency and
knowledge of the principles
of screening, including: what
factors must be present
for a condition to qualify for
population based screening.
n Incorporate recent evidence
regarding pharmacologic,
dietary, and other
interventions to prevent
serious illness into daily
clinical practice.
n Develop and utilize tools and
checklists that integrate into
medical records in order
to maximize preventive
interventions in primary care
practice.
n Eliminate preventive
strategies in practice that are
proven to be ineffective.
A major challenge we face today as primary care
clinicians is staying current with the rapid advances
in prevention. Prevention is a major component
of effective primary care practice and one of the
unique strengths that we must possess. Most
existing CME courses focus on prevention in one
or several limited spheres. In this course, we will
focus on screening and prevention, teaching you
cutting edge and novel strategies across multiple
disciplines. Topics include: prevention of cancer,
heart disease, infectious diseases, obesity, diabetes,
and risk management issues in primary care, plus a
number of keynotes and ask-the-expert sessions.
Multiple Educational Formats for
Optimal Learning
Our outstanding faculty, recognized as leaders
in clinical practice and medical education, will
challenge, refresh, and recharge your knowledge
of prevention in primary care. Course material will
be presented in a distraction-free environment,
through multi-media formats that include stateof-the-art lectures, question and answer sessions,
and case-based discussions utilizing the Audience
Response System. You can expect to receive an
exceptional update to your existing skills at this
clinically relevant course.
Why You Should Attend This Course?
Continuing education programs should ensure
that you emerge with enhanced skills and the
ability to improve patient care. Here’s why this
course meets these requirements:
n Y
ou will learn cutting edge strategies for
n
n
