The emphasis of this course is on practical and useful information for clinical practice. This activity will educate and promote improved patient outcomes in a broad range of therapeutic areas commonly encountered in internal medicine and primary care practice. This CME course 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.
Learning Objectives:
As a result of this activity, participants will be 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.
