AGENDA

Course Overview

Primary care physicians and physician extenders 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 from HIV to eye issues, understand when to refer patients to specialists, communicate those treatments and services to insurance providers and keep up-to-date with the rapid changes in medical technology. Changes in Medicare RVUs and quality measures will be addressed, as well as prescribing guidelines for medications such as mBAs.

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, the participants should be able to:

• Apply the best primary care provider management strategies for HIV, NASH, contraception, and common eye ailments
• Apply hands-on techniques of point-of-care ultrasound, and osteopathic manipulative therapy in patient care settings
• Assess indications and possible risks in the use of monoclonal antibodies
• Evaluate changes in the documentation of quality care measures

Optional Nexplanon Workshop

Nexplanon is an effective long-term removable contraceptive that is easily inserted in the upper arm during a simple office procedure.  An optional, pre-conference workshop will be held in conjunction with the Primary Care Conference that allows you to become certified in administering Nexplanon injections (additional fees apply).  No CME credit will be given for this training, however, a training certificate will be given upon completion.

Optional Non-CME Nexplanon Insertion Workshop will be held Friday, April 5, 2019
