Las Vegas 2020 Primary Care Update is organized by A.T. Still University (ATSU). The session is held from Mar 05 - 07, 2020 at Treasure Island, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America.
Target Audience:
The target audience includes general practitioners, family medicine physicians, and other primary healthcare providers that are interested in refreshing their knowledge and improving their competence in commonly seen conditions.
Accreditation:
ATSU designates this program for a maximum of 18 AOA Category 1-A credits and will report CME and specialty credits commensurate with the extent of the physician’s participation in this activity.
Course Description:
Health care professionals are confronting the challenge of maintaining and improving competence over the course of lengthy careers in diverse practice specialties. This course was designed to provide attendees with current and relevant updates to your daily management of commonly seen patient health concerns in primary care. This course will present a comprehensive review of new developments in medicine and the day-to-day controversies of office practice. Providers will be able to apply the most current treatment strategies provided in recent clinical guideline updates, recognize effective interventions, and employ relevant research in their daily patient encounters.
Educational Need:
The need for more information, knowledge, and competence is evident in the busy practicing physician. Often training is out of date and a lack of time is challenging to stay current with advances in the busy physician’s practice. 45% of the total U.S. population live with a chronic condition and improving the quality of their care is a major policy priority. Many patients see a primary care physician for all of their care (Medical Economics from the CDC). Up to date review of clinical guidelines is necessary to present practicing physicians with the level of knowledge and understanding they need to improve patient care. Multimorbidity is particularly important in generalist settings, such as primary care, where family practitioners act as the first point of contact for people with a wide range of conditions and frequently manage patients with multiple coexisting conditions. Most patients consulting in family practice have multimorbidity, and the number of coexisting conditions increases with age.
