Tackling Topical Therapies and Routine Skin Care (Rx=0.50)

“If it is wet, dry it; if it is dry, wet it; and if you don’t know what to do, put a steroid on it.” Dermatologic pharmacology is not so simple. Many topical medications are utilized in primary care to manage conditions ranging from xerosis to contact dermatitis to cutaneous infections. The proper preparation, amount, and duration of therapy should be considered to be used most effectively. This presentation will help the primary care provider make sense of the various commonly prescribed topical medications, including topical corticosteroids, anti-infective agents, emollients, and several new agents that have recently become available. Medication dosing and safety will be addressed, as well as pearls and practical pointers for the most effective use of these products. Learn the what, when, and how of dermatologic pharmacology. This session will conclude with practical tips for taking care of the skin, from cleansing to moisturizing and skin cancer prevention.

Bites, Stings, and Other Itchy Things (Rx=0.50)

Something stings you, you rub against a plant, you take a new medication, you use a new product…you get a rash, and it itches. When an allergen is responsible for triggering the immune system, an allergic skin condition is a result. Allergy-mediated skin manifestations can be superficial, like contact dermatitis or urticaria, or can lead to more systemic reactions, such as toxic epidermal necrolysis or anaphylaxis. Participants in this session will review the common skin findings in several allergic and pruritic conditions and the diagnostic testing and management strategies that will improve the skin’s look and potentially save lives.

12:30 – 2:00 PM

An Update on Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (Rx=0.50)

The skin is a great line of defense, but it is not always perfect at keeping out microbial invaders. When microbes invade, infection ensues. The epidemiology and clinical presentations of common skin infections, including tinea (capitis, corporis, pedis, cruris, unguium), HPV, molluscum, cellulitis, and abscesses, will be reviewed in this session. The differential diagnosis and methods for confirming diagnosis based on clinical presentation will be discussed and recommended treatment options for each type of infection will be specified.

2:15 – 3:45 PM

Inside Out – Dermatologic Manifestations of Systemic Disease

There are many clues that rashes and lesions can give us to rheumatologic, renal, endocrine, and even malignant conditions. Our job is to recognize the signs that make us dig deeper for the diagnosis. Cases and images will ensure you feel confident that you will not miss these important internal medicine manifestations. This session will confirm the saying, “It’s more than skin deep.”

Mastering Your MSK Exam

Musculoskeletal (MSK) problems are in the top reasons for primary care visits. Over half of chronic medical conditions in the United States are related to MSK diagnoses. These conditions are a leading cause of disability, resulting in both individual and societal burden. Achieving confidence with your head-to-toe musculoskeletal exam is the first step in diagnosing and managing MSK issues. This interactive session will provide a solid foundation for optimizing orthopedic care in the primary care setting. Emphasis will be placed on practical options for multimodal pain management in your busy practice setting.

Key Strategies for Pharmacologic Migraine Management (Rx=0.50)

Did you know migraine is one of the top 10 causes of disability worldwide? It is often the disability from migraine attacks that compromises quality of life, this condition both a pain problem and a life problem. This presentation will use a case-based approach to illustrate how clinicians can best utilize the current pharmacologic options for acute and preventive migraine treatment. Attendees will gain confidence with the current diagnostic criteria for episodic and chronic migraine understand mechanisms of action for newer migraine-specific CGRP antagonist medications.

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport

RED-S refers to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, and despite the term being developed nearly a decade ago there is significant unawareness of the condition among providers. Previously called the Female Athlete Triad, it is characterized by low energy availability due to a calorie deficit. The condition was developed in 2014 by the International Olympic Committee and can affect both males and females, including elite and recreational athletes. It can lead to irreversible damage, impairing almost every system in the body if left untreated. RED-S often goes unrecognized until drastic injury or mental collapse occurs. This session will review the definition, how to recognize early signs and symptoms, and multimodal treatment strategies to keep athletes of all ages healthy and nourished.

This session will focus on history and exam findings that allow for accurate diagnosis of neck and low back pain. Teaching approaches include exam demonstration, when to consider diagnostic testing, and comprehensive treatment plans. Discussion will include use of both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic modalities.
