Course Overview

Primary care providers are often the first points of contact for patients, regardless of the nature of their problem. Providers face increasing demands to recognize and treat conditions such as obesity, pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions, chest pain, and hyperlipidemia.  Knowledge of guidelines is helpful when referring patients to specialists, communicating those treatments and services to insurance providers, and keeping up-to-date with the rapid changes in medical technology.

This conference is partially funded by the John A. Eaddy, MD Diabetes Education Gift Fund.
