1. Overview

11/18/2024

The 2024 Dermatology, Geriatrics, Neurology, & Orthopedics (SM) in the Primary Care Office is a comprehensive, multi-day program designed specifically for frontline clinicians. Because primary care providers must manage a vast array of cross-specialty ailments, this 4-day seminar synthesizes the most up-to-date, evidence-based practices across four distinct, high-volume medical fields. The curriculum focuses on giving clinicians practical, concise, and clinically relevant tools to confidently diagnose, manage, and properly refer patients experiencing dermatologic, geriatric, neurologic, and musculoskeletal/sports medicine issues in the outpatient setting.

2. Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this comprehensive 4-day educational activity, participants should be better able to:

• Geriatric Medicine: Identify evidence-based methods to screen for and diagnose delirium, list common drug errors to prevent polypharmacy in the elderly, and effectively conduct focused goals-of-care conversations.

• Neurology: Perform validated, highly effective neurological exam techniques (e.g., visual field testing, diagnosing nystagmus and functional weakness) and develop an evidence-based approach to evaluating dizziness.

• Dermatology: Accurately recognize, diagnose, and formulate treatment plans for common and complex skin disorders, infections, and lesions frequently encountered in the primary care office.

• Orthopedics & Sports Medicine: Conduct targeted musculoskeletal examinations, correctly identify common joint and soft tissue injuries, and implement non-operative management strategies for sports-related ailments.
