Day 2 – Wednesday, November 10
Orthopedics
Registration & Breakfast
Strong Foundations: Exploring Orthopedic Basics
An orthopedic approach starts with history, focusing on mechanism of injury and onset of symptoms, followed by a targeted physical exam. Appropriate imaging, such as X-rays or MRI, can help to confirm diagnosis, but do we always need one. Initial management includes proper immobilization to protect the injury. Timely referrals are important for severe injuries, neurovascular compromise, or cases requiring specialized care.
A Practical Approach to Orthopedic Imaging
This interactive presentation is designed to sharpen participants’ ability to confidently identify and describe basic fractures and dislocations using accurate, standardized terminology. Through practical examples and plain X-ray review, attendees will learn how to recognize common injury patterns and translate what they see into clear, meaningful communication. Emphasis will be placed on improving discussions with orthopedic colleagues, reducing vague descriptions, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy—all while making fracture talk a little less intimidating and a lot more effective.

Men & Women's Health
Registration & Breakfast
Hot Flashes, Cold Feet: Rethinking Hormone Therapy for Women in Primary Care
Are you hesitant to prescribe hormone therapy to women? You are not alone. Women’s health
has undergone a seismic shift, and many clinicians were trained during a time of uncertainty and caution. This session is designed to rebuild confidence by providing clear context and practical guidance. We will revisit the Women’s Health Initiative—what it showed, what it did not, and how our understanding has evolved—using a concise timeline of evidence. Participants will review key definitions, appropriate screening, recommended laboratory evaluation, indications and contraindications, and both lifestyle-based and prescription treatment options to support women through the menopausal transition. Cardiovascular and cancer risks will be addressed head-on. You will leave this session as a menopause-informed provider, ready to rethink,
revitalize, and strengthen care for your patients.

Through clinical examples and case-based discussion, participants will examine where pharmacogenomic testing is most helpful in practice and consider opportunities to expand pharmacologic treatment strategies with
greater confidence and precision.
Break
Saving Mothers Starts Here: Prioritizing OB in Primary Care
Maternal mortality is out of control—and this is not solely an obstetric problem. It is a primary
care problem. Primary care clinicians are uniquely positioned to serve as the maternal safety net before, during, and after pregnancy, yet many providers feel underprepared or
uncomfortable managing obstetric-related concerns, particularly hypertensive disorders. This session reframes maternal safety as a core primary care responsibility and focuses on practical, evidence-informed strategies to improve outcomes. Emphasis is placed on recognizing opportunities to save mothers through improved hypertension management across the reproductive lifespan, including preconception counseling, pregnancy care, and the critical postpartum period. Participants will leave with actionable approaches to better prioritize and confidently manage OB patients in primary care settings today.
Sponsored Lunch or Lunch on Your Own
Let’s Talk Testosterone: Basics & Beyond
This session is designed to demystify a hormone that is most commonly associated with men, yet has an important and evolving role in select female treatment plans as well. We will begin with a focused review of testosterone physiology, followed by evidence-based screening practices, indications, and contraindications, framed within traditional male and female prescribing contexts. Participants will then review available
formulations and current FDA approvals. The session will conclude with practical guidance on monitoring, dose adjustment, and discontinuation of therapy. Throughout, prescribing decisions will be grounded in the WHO six-step prescribing framework to support safe, intentional, and patient-centered care. By the end of this session, participants will be able to effectively evaluate
appropriate candidates for testosterone therapy, select evidence-based treatment options, and apply structured prescribing principles to optimize patient outcomes.
Break
New News! Rapid Fire Updates in Men’s Health
What’s the “New News!” in men’s health? This rapid-fire session delivers a high-yield update on what’s hot, what’s fading, and what every primary care clinician needs to know now. Men are entering the healthcare system through new and evolving pathways—what’s driving that shift, and how should primary care respond? On the prevention front, we’ll review critical guideline updates across the lifespan. You’ll also receive a concise update on pharmacologic therapies relevant to men’s health, highlighting what’s new alongside time-tested standards. We’ll close by exploring emerging technologies that support men in self-managing their health and engaging
more effectively in care. This session is a curated potpourri of timely, practical highlights
designed to inform, energize, and update your practice. We want you at 100%, not just at 96%

Casinos
When you think of Las Vegas, you think of Las Vegas casinos. They’ve been glorified in films and on the small screen. And for good reason. They’re everything you’ve been told and more. The lights. The sounds. The pulsating energy. You’ll love every second of it. There are more games than ever. And if you’re not sure you know what you’re doing, the dealers are happy to help teach you. So go on. Let the cards, chips and dice fall where they may. Win more with progressive slots and multi-property jackpots. Some “big-time” casinos in Las Vegas include the Bellagio, Wynn, and Aria.
The Strip
One of the most visible aspects of Las Vegas’ cityscape is its use of dramatic architecture. The rapidly evolving skyline and constant modernization of hotels, casinos, restaurants, residential high-rises, and entertainment offerings on the Strip, have established it as one of the most popular destinations for tourists in the US, and the world. Many of the largest hotel, casino, and resort properties in the world are located on the Las Vegas Strip. Fifteen of the world’s 25 largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 62,000 rooms.
Hoover Dam
The Bureau of Reclamation has conducted tours through the Hoover Dam and powerplant since 1937. Today, close to 1,000,000 visitors a year take the tour and millions more drive across the dam. One of the greatest engineering achievements in human history, the Hoover Dam, continues to draw crowds more than 70 years after its creation.
Grand Canyon
Unique combinations of geologic color and erosional forms decorate a canyon that is 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep. The Grand Canyon continues to overwhelm our senses with its immense size.
Red Rock Canyon

The area is 195,819 acres and is visited by more than one million people each year. In marked contrast to a town geared to entertainment and gaming, Red Rock offers enticements of a different nature including a 13-mile scenic drive, more than 30 miles of hiking trails, rock climbing, horseback riding, mountain biking, road biking, picnic areas, nature observing and visitor center with exhibit rooms and a book store.
