Program Overview
Presented by Continuing Education Company (CEC) for the past 30 years, our Primary Care CME Conference Series is designed to update primary care clinicians in rapidly changing therapeutic areas. This CME activity is comprised of recordings from the 16th Annual Primary Care Spring Conference - Session II that took place in Palm Coast, FL on April 4-8, 2022. The emphasis of this course is on practical and useful information for clinical practice.
This CME program will educate and promote improved patient outcomes in a broad range of therapeutic areas commonly encountered in the primary care practice. This activity will highlight the latest science related to a variety of specialty areas, presented in a practical and patient-focused manner relevant to the primary care setting. The format of this course is streaming-only (video recordings are not downloadable).

As a result of this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Assess and provide patients with an accurate diagnosis and optimal care for a broad range of disorders seen in primary care.
- Utilize current guidelines in the diagnosis and management of commonly encountered therapeutic issues.
- Formulate comprehensive evidence-based interventions and treatment strategies that will lead to the reduction of modifiable risk factors and improved long term outcomes.
