Primary care physi- cians are minimally exposed to the continual influx of new research data, recent studies, and emerging disease states and lack expert mentoring to be able to improve their practice performance and patient outcomes. By providing the latest findings and technological advances, the Conference will allow healthcare professionals to advise their patients in order to improve patient care for improved future health. The faculty for this Conference will address practice gaps important to the daily clinical practices of primary care healthcare professionals and will provide methods to improve clinical competen- cies, as well as review, update and improve knowledge of treating a number of diseases, disorders, and general practice management issues which include but are not limited to valley fever, rheumatology, risk management, electronic health records meaningful use, radia- tion oncology, dermatology, cerebrovascular disease, heart disease and diabetes. The content of this educational activity was devel- oped based on data collected from previous Conference attendees, previous outcomes measurement tools, the Planning Committee’s perceptions of needed improvements in primary care diagnoses and treatments, national and local statistical information and the review of current trends and technology in medical literature. Learning Objectives Participants will be able to: analyze current issues in primary care; review new guidelines for treatment of a number of disease states and disorders; discuss cases regarding new treatment options and technological advances; evaluate methods of risk management and meaningful use in current medical practices; identify new treatment methods for disease states; properly advise patients using the most up to date clinical and scientific information; expand knowledge of new disease states, their diagnosis and treatment; examine case stud- ies, patient outcomes, research results and best practice guidelines for use in clinical practice.
