MJ2104: 48th Annual Advances in Family Medicine and Primary Care

Registration has CLOSED effective Friday, Sept. 11th at 12pm Pacific Time. 

This is the 48th year that the Department of Family Medicine is offering a variety of educational opportunities for family medicine and primary care health care providers.

Each year our goal is to provide current information about practice skills and the diagnosis and management of a broad array of primary health care issues within family medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, psychiatry and behavioral science, neurology, sports medicine, women’s health, pulmonology, nephrology, infectious disease, chronic pain, pediatrics, and gastroenterology. Course topics are chosen with these criteria in mind:

• Suggestions from previous course attendees
• Distribution of topics should reflect the content of primary care
• Recent breakthroughs that may have significant impact on primary care practice and health outcomes
• Controversial topics where medical opinions may vary or are in flux
  

This year we are excited to offer our course only online via Zoom webinar. This will allow for broad access to our educational content while maintaining personal safety.

1. Apply new knowledge and skills from family medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, psychiatry and behavioral science, neurology, sports medicine, women’s health, pulmonology, nephrology, infectious disease, chronic pain, pediatrics, and gastroenterology to the care of patients in primary care.
2. Describe new practice designs to optimize practice effectiveness in chronic disease management, detecting and treating mental health problems, and opioid addiction.
