Course Objectives:
By attending, you will be able to:
Thursday - Primary Care
- Apply recent evidence from clinical research to improve management of complex conditions commonly encountered in primary care, including obesity, hypertension, functional gastrointestinal disorders, chronic pain, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and survivorship after prostate cancer treatment.
- Implement appropriate evaluation, monitoring, and longitudinal care strategies for medically complex populations, including organ transplant recipients and patients with suspected hyperaldosteronism.
- Optimize pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment approaches for chronic disease management, including GLP-1–based therapies for obesity, newer analgesic agents for chronic pain, and referral pathways for musculoskeletal conditions.
- Interpret pulmonary diagnostic testing and integrate evidence-based management of respiratory diseases, including updated treatment strategies for COPD and asthma.
Friday - Cardiovascular Updates and Behavioral Health
- Apply current guideline-based strategies for cardiovascular risk reduction and disease management, including lipid lowering with PCSK-9 inhibitors, secondary ASCVD prevention, anticoagulation management, non-invasive cardiac imaging, and optimization of heart failure therapy.
- Evaluate complex medication decisions by balancing risks and benefits in patients requiring antithrombotic or cardiovascular therapies.
- Recognize, assess, and manage common behavioral and psychiatric conditions encountered in primary care, including delirium in older adults, autism spectrum disorder in adults, sleep disorders, personality disorders, and complex psychiatric presentations.
- Implement communication strategies, multidisciplinary care coordination, and appropriate referral pathways to improve outcomes for patients with behavioral health needs.
Saturday - Women’s Health
- Apply evidence-based screening, diagnosis, and management strategies for common and high-impact women’s health conditions, including urinary incontinence, cervical cancer prevention, sexually transmitted infections, pelvic pain, and menopause.
- Provide critical early pregnancy care in the primary care setting, including confirmation of pregnancy, identification of complications, medication counseling, and referral planning.
- Interpret emerging research relevant to women’s health, including advances in breast cancer prevention and immunotherapy.
- Individualize treatment plans using patient-centered counseling and shared decision-making for hormone therapy and other reproductive health interventions.
