Overview:

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed primary care practice. Difficult management decisions must now be made in transformed ambulatory environments and with virtual medicine. Despite the change in our practice environments, primary care clinicians must continue to focus on preventive medicine, reduction of cardiovascular risk factors, day-to-day clinical problems, chronic disease management, women's health, geriatrics, behavioral medicine, and optimal use of diagnostic tests and new medications. Health disparities and the care of vulnerable patients are a central part of our daily practice as we try to maximize quality, safety, equity, and value. Close collaboration with other specialists, inpatient colleagues, and diverse teams of health professionals is essential for the care of our complex patients. This course will present a comprehensive review of new developments in outpatient medicine, controversies in primary care practice, and up-to-the-minute updates in the care of patients with COVID-19. The course will utilize formal lectures, case discussions, an audience response system, questions and answers, a detailed syllabus, and on-demand access to course recordings. Remote learning opportunities will also be available.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This course, chaired by Dr. Robert B. Baron and taught by UCSF’s best teachers, is designed for practicing internists, family practitioners, advance practice providers, and all other health professionals interested in providing high quality primary care.

Onsite and Remote Learning Options
The course will be offered as a live conference at the Hotel Nikko. Registrants have the option attend in person or to tune in remotely via zoom live stream during programming hours (Pacific Time). Login instructions along with the digital syllabus will be shared with attendees before the meeting.

You must tune in to live conference (in person or remotely) to claim CME.

• Diagnose and treat common problems in women's health including cervical, breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer, contraception, osteoporosis, and gynecological concerns of older women; 
• Understand the health implications of climate change and what health professional can do about it
• Improve skills in medical documentation to maximize clinical efficiency and quality, best practices, and alignment with recent changes in federal requirements;
• Select the best diagnostic tests and enhance value in medical practice; 
• Use best evidence and optimize patient communication and shared-decision making;
