This CME activity is comprised of recorded video lectures from recent conferences. 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.
Learning 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 disorders seen in primary care.
