COURSE INFORMATION
Program Schedule and Program Brochure coming soon!
Course Description
Lecture topics and hands on surgical techniques were based upon our previous attendee’s expressed needs and recommendations of key option leaders. Physicians will be able to work 1-1 with Board Certified experts and obtain personalized assessment of their skills and improve their performance when faced with commonly seen Basal Cell carcinomas and other conditions that must be excised for biopsies in the primary physician’s practice.
Educational Objectives
- Discuss recognition, diagnosis, treatment, and overall care management of skin conditions commonly seen in the primary care setting.
- Review cases, accurately diagnose conditions/diseases, and develop appropriate management plans.
- Demonstrate basic biopsy techniques, basic principles of skin biopsies and excisions.
Target Audience
The target audience includes primary care physicians, family practice physicians, internal medicine physicians, and other healthcare learners who treat patients within the primary care setting.
Educational Need
Many primary care physicians treat multiple conditions in a rural setting. Practice and guidance to the use of best techniques for treating and excising commonly seen dermatology skin conditions will lead to improved patient care when a specialist is not available.
Learners require more knowledge and practice when treating dermatologic lesions. This activity was designed to improve both knowledge through education and competence by practicing suturing techniques. Participants will leave with pearls which they can apply immediately to their practice.
Professional Practice Gap
Currently PCP’s and family practice providers do not have the knowledge or tools to confidently assess, diagnose, treat and manage patients with many dermatologic skin conditions. Many patients in the underserved areas do not have access to a Dermatologist and their course will provide physicians the opportunity to improve their skills in assessment, excision and suturing of many dermatology problems and skin cancers.
Desired Outcomes
Learners require more up-to-date evidence-based information and better hands-on techniques to treat chronic dermatology conditions and skin cancers This activity was designed to improve both knowledge through education and competence performing common dermatologic skin procedures by working 1-1 with a Board Certified Dermatology. Discussions when to refer patients for specialty care.
*Attendance at this course does not indicate nor guarantee competence or proficiency in the performance of any procedures which may be discussed or taught in this course.

COURSE INFORMATION
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Program Brochure coming soon!
Course Description
Lecture topics were chosen based upon our Annual Needs Assessment Survey, physician identified practice gaps, and recommendations of key option leaders will be presented to address the individual physician gaps in knowledge, skills and attitudes within the physician practice environment. Our course seeks to update attendees on the latest recommendations involving medical subspecialty topics commonly seen within the primary care physician’s practice.
Educational Objectives
- Assess and provide patients with an accurate diagnosis and optimal care for a broad range of diseases and conditions seen in primary care
- Discuss and utilize current guidelines in the diagnosis and management of commonly encountered therapeutic issues
- Formulate comprehensive evidence-based interventions and treatment strategies that will lead to the reduction of modifiable risk factors and improved long-term outcomes
Target Audience
The target audience includes primary care physicians, family practice physicians, internal medicine physicians, and other healthcare learners who treat patients within the primary care setting.
Educational Need
Primary Care providers provide most of the evidence-based disease prevention and screening within the current healthcare system. There remains a gap between the recommended preventive services and actual practice as well as patient adherence to prescribed treatment.
Currently, most chronic illness care takes place in primary care practices which provides some disadvantages and serious limitations. This trend puts greater demands on the primary care professional address the front-line needs of these patients who present with multiple chronic conditions. Additionally people are increasingly living for longer with multi-morbidity.
Of the 133 million patients with chronic diseases, 47% have more than one diagnosis. On average, PCP’s manage 3.05 problems per visit and the number of problems grown to 3.88 for people over the age of 65. A PCP handles multiple diseases and complications within in a single office visit.
This CME activity will provide an update about standards of care in order to reflect the most current evidence based knowledge and guidelines to improve competence.
Professional Practice Gap
A significant gap exists between physician practice, science and clinical practice guidelines. Evidence has shown that PCPs often lack the up-to-date skills, the time to keep up-to-date and the ability and strategies to address patients seen with chronic conditions within their practice. People are increasingly living for longer with multi-morbidity. With 47% presenting with multiple disease states, conditions can be difficult to diagnose, treat and the practitioner is faced with patients who are non-compliant. Strategies and updated guidelines presented in this CME/CE program will provide new interventions and treatment options to help physicians cope with difficult to manage cases.
Desired Outcomes
Learners require more up-to-date evidence-based information and better strategies to treat chronic conditions and diseases. This activity was designed to improve both knowledge through education and competence by now having the ability to apply that knowledge and skills in practice to help you implement better clinical decision-making strategies.
Accreditation Statement
ATSU is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) to provide osteopathic continuing medical education for physicians.
ATSU designates this program for a maximum of 16 of AOA Category 1-A credits and will report CME and specialty credits commensurate with the extent of the physician’s participation in this activity.

Sue Falsone, PT, MS, SCS, ATC, CSCS, COMT, RYT
Although most athletic trainers deal with patients who are in pain, very few clinicians understand the complexity of pain perception and the individuality by which it presents itself from patient to patient. Often, patients of the same gender, around the same age, with the same diagnosis, present very differently when it comes to the amount of pain they are experiencing. This presents a difficult scenario for the athletic trainer, who may be utilizing past clinical experience to manage a current patient. Truly understanding the biopsychosocial aspects of pain and understanding the most recent literature on pain sciences will be helpful to the clinical athletic trainer, who is often tasked with helping a patient simply “feel better”. Pain affects movement, so athletic trainers who are attempting to change an athletes’ movement patterns first must address the pain perception that can be altering the movement patterns. Proper modality selection and counseling is a must in order for the athletic trainer to be effective in the field of pain management.
Pain is a multifactorial experience and should be addressed via a comprehensive biopsychosocial intervention model. Pain and nociceptive stimulation do not go hand in hand, meaning pain can be present in the absence of nociceptive stimulation. Therefore, the clinician needs to understand not only the physical neurology of the sensation of pain, but the emotional, psychological, social, and personal experiences that factor into the creation of pain perception. With this comprehensive understanding, the clinician should be able to select an appropriate intervention to modulate pain based on the needs of the individual patient
This course aims to cover the following objectives, which will be presented in five individual online modules:
- Appreciate that pain is a multi-factorial experience, and should be treated via a multi-factorial approach including physical, emotional and biopsychosocial considerations
- Identify different pain theories and the basic neurology underlying the sensation of pain
- Understand how pain may affect normal movement patterns
- Implement different modalities to address pain and improve movement
- Understand the effects of different modalities on pain modulation and describe the mechanism of action for these modalities

Event Details
Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are the most common injuries associated with physical activity and athletic participation. Up to 70% of individuals who sustain a single LAS will eventually develop chronic ankle instability (CAI), which has been associated with long-term consequences such as decreased health-related quality of life and decreased physical activity. To help mitigate consequences related to CAI, recent studies have investigated different approaches in managing patients who suffer a LAS, including the use of patient-reported outcome measures, clinician-reported outcome measures, and various treatment approaches. Although LAS present a major challenge for health care providers, particularly athletic trainers, little is known about the overall effectiveness of current treatment strategies for LAS. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify effective treatment strategies that will optimize patient outcomes and reduce re-injury risk.
While treatments should be individualized, balance training has been shown to be an effective strategy to improve postural control and reduce recurrent LAS risk, and should be a part of every LAS rehabilitation protocol. ATs should use a combination of patient-reported outcome measures and clinician-rated outcome measures to guide the treatment and management of LAS and to improve patient outcomes, reduce the risk of LAS re-injury, and prevent the onset of CAI.

Event Details
Although injury prevention is a domain for athletic trainers (ATs), implementation science is a burgeoning area and many ATs may not have had specific education on preventive training program (PTP) implementation. This course aims to describe the most recent evidence on the benefits PTPs have on athlete injury risk, injury rate and sport performance. Additionally, ATs may not have the time to run PTPs every single day in their clinical setting. Coaches, particularly at the high school level do not utilize PTPs. ATs can train coaches to effectively implement PTPs with their athletes, however ATs may not have background on the most effective strategies to train coaches. This course will present a framework that ATs can use to begin the PTP implementation process within their own settings.
The specific objectives for this course include the development of the participant’s ability to:
- Discuss the current state of evidence for preventive training programs (PTPs)
- Describe the 7-steps for successful PTP design and development
- Prepare strategies for PTP implementation in different sport-specific or setting-specific scenarios, including but not limited to, youth sport, girls’ basketball, and the military.
According to the education levels described by the PDC, this continuing education course is considered to be Essential Level, and is appropriate for all athletic trainers.
