Program Overview
Presented by Continuing Education Company (CEC) for over 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 recorded video lectures from the “Emergency and Urgent Care Medicine for the Primary Care Provider” conferences held in San Diego, CA. This module includes 13 compelling lectures and is worth 9 credits. (Note: the full course bundle is comprised of 39 lectures and is 27 credits.)
Urgent Care medicine involves the delivery of immediate medical care for the treatment of acute and chronic illness and injury. Practitioners providing urgent care need to be proficient in evaluating and caring for patients presenting with a broad range of acute medical problems. As a result, urgent care medicine requires clinicians to have an extensive scope of knowledge and expertise in the evaluation and treatment of acute medical conditions in all age groups.
This activity focuses on timely and practical issues involving emergency and urgent care medicine. Sessions will provide the latest evidence-based information on the evaluation and treatment of acute emergency conditions. Each session will provide best practices for use in an outpatient clinical setting.
Course Objectives:
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 acute disorders seen in primary care.
- Recognize the role of the primary care clinician in the management of acute disorders.
- Utilize current advances in the diagnosis and treatment of acute disorders, using whenever possible, an evidence-based approach.
- Delineate which patients require immediate hospitalization and additional care and those that can be successfully managed as outpatients.
Post-Test and Evaluation:
After completing each module, you must successfully complete a post-test and fill out a program evaluation form. You will then be able to view and print your CME certificate. Login into CME365 to view your transcript and reprint your certificate at any time.
