PROGRAM INFORMATION
VIRTUAL PRIMARY CARE UPDATE
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.

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.
The specific objectives for this course include the development of the participant’s ability to:
- Discuss the progression of an acute lateral ankle sprain to chronic ankle instability
- Describe the evidence regarding the treatment of lateral ankle sprain injuries
- Identify patient-reported outcome measures and clinician-rated outcome measures appropriate for lateral ankle sprain rehabilitation
According to the education levels described by the PDC, this continuing education course is considered to be Advanced Level, and is appropriate for all athletic trainers.

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.

COURSE INFORMATION
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 frontline needs of these patients who present with multiple chronic conditions. Additionally people are increasingly living for longer with multimorbidity.
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 multimorbidity. 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.

Speaker Bio
CLICK HERE for Speaker Bio
Educational Objectives
- Identify non-melanoma skin cancers
- Describe diagnostic criteria for non-melanoma skin cancers
- Discuss treatment parameters for non-melanoma skin cancers
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
Our 2020 ATSU Annual Needs Assessment identified “Dermatology” as the most requested topic showing a professional practice gap where more information was needed. Many of our attendees practice in rural areas and their patients are limited to a family practitioner for care when no specialists are available.
Professional Practice Gap
Patient education is a fundamental part of caring for patients, especially those with a non-melanoma cancer diagnosis. A practice gap exists, where patients want more information, while health care providers are limited by time constraints or difficulty helping patients understand or remember.
Desired Outcomes
After this course, the attendee should have gained competence when assessing a patient who presents with Non-melanoma cancer. This course will present information with treatment options to hopefully, improve patient outcomes.
Accreditation Statement
ATSU is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) to provide osteopathic continuing medical education for physicians.

Course Description: Employing a gutta percha coated instrument for root canal obturation has been an accepted technique for over 30 years, but its popularity is not universal within the ranks of dental professionals. There is still widely held skepticism as to the materials efficacy and appropriateness in certain clinical scenarios, along with adverse experiences with the material. Misinformation, misapplication, and miscalculation of the materials’ capabilities have all served to perpetuate an undeserved reputation. This course will serve to address all concerns about not only the didactic science and research of carrier-based obturation, but also the correct protocols for successful clinical placement. Following a lecture component, participants will practice using size verifiers, gutta core ovens and gutta core obturators on gutta core prepared blocks.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Discuss and critique the existing literature base as to the validity of the results and conclusions presented.
- Explain the correct protocols for canal preparation and carrier size selection.
- Describe the diagnosis and placement of the materials in anatomically challenging scenarios such as bifurcated, elongated and overly broad canal spaces.

COURSE INFORMATION
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.
Course Topics
Educational Objectives
- Summarize recent updates, clinical studies, and new guidelines that impact practice in primary care
- Assess and provide patients with an accurate diagnosis and optimal care for a broad range of diseases and conditions seen in primary care
- Develop and implement strategies that overcome patient and clinician barriers and improve health outcomes for your patients
- Recognize when to refer to a specialist to provide optimal patient care
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 on commonly seen conditions.
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.
Professional Practice Gap
A significant gap exists between research recommendations, scientific evidence, and clinical practice guidelines, on the one hand and actual clinical practice, on the other. With only 55% adherence to evidence-based care, the significance of disparity disconcerts health care stakeholders. This gap, the difference between what health professionals know and what they do, challenges effective and efficient health care by undermining the benefits realized from advances in the science of medicine and the dedication of professionals delivering care. It is well-documented that interventions designed to change practice must be based on an accurate assessment of the needs and causal variables that support and impede targeted health outcomes. Lack of knowledge, awareness, professional skill or appraisal skills are well known barriers to optimal care. We base our courses on the concepts of quality improvement in order to achieve and maintain physician competency and performance in the areas where physicians have expressed a professional gap.
Desired Outcomes
This conference is designed to provide primary care practitioners with up-to-date, evidence-based information on commonly encountered clinician and patient wellness issues, while suggesting pragmatic approaches to clinical management. After attending the sessions our goal is to enhance the knowledge-base and core competence of attendees. The successful completion of this interactive program should improve attendees’ confidence in diagnosing, treating, and prescribing the most effective courses of treatment, with the ultimate goal of improving clinician and patient outcomes.
