Let your patients put their best face forward! Practical approaches to diagnosing and treating facial skin disorders, including acne, rosacea, lupus, actinic damage, and pigmentary disorders. We will cover skin care routines.

Spotting skin cancer can save lives. Learn to identify common skin lesions, differentiate between harmful and harmless ones, and know when to seek help. We will examine precancers, basal cell and squamous cell cancers, melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, DFSP, and skin lymphomas. How to spot them and what to do when finding them, including treatment options and resources for you and your patients.

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.

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.

Break down the mysteries of upper-extremity injuries! From tricky fractures to sneaky dislocations and soft tissue surprises, this session gives clinicians a practical, no-nonsense approach to spotting, treating, and preventing complications—without getting lost in the jargon. Perfect for APPs and anyone who wants MSK made simple (and a little fun).

This session provides a focused, practical approach to evaluating and managing lower-extremity musculoskeletal injuries. Key topics include fracture patterns, joint dislocations, soft tissue injuries, imaging strategies, and tips for timely intervention to prevent long-term deformity and dysfunction. Emphasis is on real-world clinical decision-making for physicians, PAs, and other frontline providers.

This lecture provides a practical overview of common pediatric orthopedic conditions, emphasizing growth plate injuries, fracture patterns unique to children, and high-risk diagnoses. It focuses on systematic evaluation, imaging principles, and key red flags to support safe and effective clinical decision-making.

The road to becoming a competent interpreter of EKGs starts with mastering the basics of electrocardiography and recognizing how to apply these basics throughout the science. You’ll relearn some of the foundational concepts that might have been glossed over when you first were taught EKGs. Then, you’ll apply them to real-life EKGs and see how having a strong grasp of these basics can solve common pain points in EKG understanding and speed up your
interpretation of more complex tracings.

EKG interpretation isn’t just for clinicians who practice in hospital settings. As we know, it’s common for patients to potentially mis-triage themselves and present to office-based practices after experiencing symptoms that should probably have sent them to an emergency department. We’ll review case studies of patients who seem “fine” at the time but have critical EKG findings that suggest an emergency medical condition lurking under the surface. We’ll also discuss some case studies of patients and their EKGs that may look concerning initially but would likely not benefit from treatment in an emergency department.

When considering a patient with chest pain, it’s important to start with a broad differential diagnosis. However, a recent study suggests that there are only six life-threatening chest pain conditions. We’ll discuss the risk factors, pertinent history, and exam findings associated with each of these six chest pain killers. In addition, we’ll review three important documents from the recent literature that you probably didn’t learn about in school, and how understanding their key points is critical for the modern diagnostic evaluation of patients with chest pain.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is the most common reason for myocardial infarctions in young women. What complicates the diagnosis of this potentially lethal condition is that risk factors for SCAD are completely different than traditional myocardial infarction risk factors. We’ll use an unforgettable case study to highlight these nontraditional risk factors for myocardial infarction that you must know. Then, we’ll talk about immediate life-saving treatments and how they may differ from traditional acute coronary syndrome management. Finally, we’ll rehearse how to present this patient to a consultant using a format you can apply to quickly summarize any critical patient who needs specialty management.

The American College of Cardiology recently updated what it considers to be STEMI equivalents and ischemia equivalents. With these new guidelines, there is an emphasis on additional potentially pathologic EKG findings that suggest the need for life-saving therapies for which time is of the essence. Meanwhile, the science of electrocardiography continues to advance and further refines our ability to disposition patients appropriately. Go beyond the
guidelines to hear the very latest from EKG literature on can't-miss findings and where the science is headed.

This presentation explores the evidence-based role of lifestyle medicine in the prevention and management of chronic disease. Focusing on the core pillars of nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and behavior change, it reviews current clinical data demonstrating how lifestyle interventions improve metabolic health, reduce disease burden, and enhance quality of life. Practical strategies for integrating lifestyle medicine into routine clinical care will be discussed.

This session reviews current clinical exercise guidelines for patients with diabetes, highlighting the role of physical activity as a cornerstone of glycemic management and cardiometabolic risk reduction. Participants will learn evidence-based recommendations for aerobic, resistance, and flexibility training from various medical societies. Practical considerations including safety, glucose monitoring, and medication adjustments will be discussed to support effective integration of physical activity into routine diabetes care.

The therapeutic window following a diabetes diagnosis represents a critical opportunity to alter the long-term complications trajectory. In this session, we will discuss proactive, evidence-based strategies that combine early pharmacological intervention with structured patient education.

The landscape of diabetes technology has shifted from an advanced option for select patients to the preferred standard of care for nearly all individuals on insulin therapy. In this session, we will review current evidence and clinical applications of continuous glucose monitoring, automated insulin delivery systems, and non-injection therapeutic options.

In this session, current guideline recommendations and practical workflows will be reviewed to help clinicians efficiently address multiple care priorities within a single encounter. We will outline a patient-centered approach to the comprehensive diabetes visit, emphasizing the integration of glycemic management, cardiovascular risk reduction, complication screening, and lifestyle counseling.
