Las Vegas 2020 Primary Care Update is organized by A.T. Still
University (ATSU). The session is held from Mar 05 - 07, 2020 at
Treasure Island, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America. Target
Audience: The target audience includes general practitioners, family
medicine physicians, and other primary healthcare providers that are
interested in refreshing their knowledge and improving their
competence in commonly seen conditions. Accreditation: ATSU designates
this program for a maximum of 18 AOA Category 1-A credits and will
report CME and specialty credits commensurate with the extent of the
physician’s participation in this activity. Course Description:
Health care professionals are confronting the challenge of maintaining
and improving competence over the course of lengthy careers in diverse
practice specialties. This course was designed to provide attendees
with current and relevant updates to your daily management of commonly
seen patient health concerns in primary care. This course will present
a comprehensive review of new developments in medicine and the
day-to-day controversies of office practice. Providers will be able to
apply the most current treatment strategies provided in recent
clinical guideline updates, recognize effective interventions, and
employ relevant research in their daily patient encounters.
Educational Need: The need for more information, knowledge, and
competence is evident in the busy practicing physician. Often training
is out of date and a lack of time is challenging to stay current with
advances in the busy physician’s practice. 45% of the total U.S.
population live with a chronic condition and improving the quality of
their care is a major policy priority. Many patients see a primary
care physician for all of their care (Medical Economics from the CDC).
Up to date review of clinical guidelines is necessary to present
practicing physicians with the level of knowledge and understanding
they need to improve patient care. Multimorbidity is particularly
important in generalist settings, such as primary care, where family
practitioners act as the first point of contact for people with a wide
range of conditions and frequently manage patients with multiple
coexisting conditions. Most patients consulting in family practice
have multimorbidity, and the number of coexisting conditions increases
with age.
