Chest pain can be very confusing due to the inconsistent presentation of symptoms. This session will discuss the complex evaluation of Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Chest Pain using case studies and covering topics such as acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary emboli, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and acute dissections.

Cardio-Athletics is an emerging topic in primary care, yet Athletic Cardiomyopathy is still poorly understood. This session will discuss the basics of cardio-athletics and define the differences between an “Athlete’s Heart” and true Athletic Cardiomyopathy responsible for sudden cardiac death.

EKGs and echocardiography may be the two most used “imaging” studies in cardiac medicine. This session will discuss the fundamental but systematic interpretation of EKGs, the advanced understanding of EKG interpretation, and the naked bird’s eye view of echocardiography imaging when treating cardiac disease.

The continuum of heart failure is an ongoing plague to society that we, as providers, are constantly struggling with. This session will go through the heart failure continuum, including symptomatology and diagnosis, initiation of guideline-driven medical therapy for heart failure, the importance of the “90-day” echocardiogram, subsequent ICD therapy, and the “what to do” when nothing else is working.

Foot and ankle injuries occur during sports, missteps, workplace accidents, and simple daily activities such as walking on uneven ground. Because these structures bear weight, missed diagnoses can have lasting consequences on mobility and work capacity. This session focuses on evaluating ankle sprains, fractures, Achilles injuries, plantar heel pain, and midfoot pathology. Learners will review common mechanisms of injury and how bruising, swelling, and gait changes inform diagnosis. Evidence based imaging rules and immobilization strategies will be emphasized. Hands on exam practice will reinforce palpation landmarks and functional testing. Participants will leave better equipped to identify red flags and initiate appropriate early management.

Lower extremity pain is a frequent challenge in primary care and often reflects a complex interplay of injury, overuse, gait abnormalities, and degenerative joint disease. This session provides a structured approach to evaluating hip and knee pain through focused anatomy review, gait assessment, and targeted physical examination. The session introduces the concept of an “Arthritis Toolbox”—a practical framework for non-surgical management that clinicians can apply before considering referral. Emphasis will be placed on selecting appropriate initial interventions based on exam findings, symptom patterns, and functional limitations. Case-based discussion and hands-on exam practice will reinforce clinical reasoning and treatment sequencing. Learners will leave with greater confidence managing lower extremity pain and knowing when escalation of care is appropriate.

“My arm hurts” can mean so many different things. This session will focus on the key points of taking a history and high-yield physical exam components that will enable you to make the diagnosis with confidence. This combined session helps clinicians distinguish between musculoskeletal pathology and peripheral compressive neuropathies. Attendees will learn how to evaluate lateral and medial epicondylitis, radial head injuries, rotator cuff pathology, and shoulder instability without relying on excessive imaging. There have been major updates regarding diagnosing common nerve conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The session emphasizes efficient exam techniques that localize pathology quickly. Management strategies appropriate for primary care—including bracing, activity modification, and physical therapy referral—will be discussed. The result is clearer clinical decision-making and more appropriate referrals.

Hands are injured every day—by slammed doors, kitchen knives, sports collisions, workplace machinery, and seemingly minor falls. In this session, learners will develop a systematic approach to the hand exam that prioritizes precision and early recognition of high-risk injuries. Emphasis will be placed on identifying tendon, ligament, and fracture patterns that are commonly missed in primary care settings. Participants will learn how subtle exam findings can dramatically alter management and referral urgency. Practical guidance will be provided on splinting, initial treatment, and patient counseling. Through case-based discussion and partner practice, attendees will gain confidence in evaluating hand injuries accurately and efficiently. The goal is simple: prevent missed diagnoses that lead to permanent dysfunction.

A fall on an outstretched hand is one of the most common mechanisms of injury across all age groups, yet wrist injuries remain among the most frequently misdiagnosed. This session breaks down wrist pain into manageable clinical patterns using anatomy, mechanism, and exam findings. Participants will learn how to differentiate benign sprains from injuries that require immobilization or urgent referral. Special attention will be given to scaphoid fractures, TFCC injuries, and overuse syndromes seen in athletes and workers alike. Imaging decision-making and appropriate splint selection will be reviewed. Hands-on practice will reinforce key exam maneuvers that improve diagnostic confidence. Learners will leave with a clear, reproducible approach to wrist pain after trauma or overuse.

What????…a new STD? Not really, but many clinicians need to know much more about Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), often called Mgen. It is a bacterial infection of growing concern in sexual health. Understanding MG is crucial for effective patient care. MG is a sexually transmitted bacterium responsible for various urogenital infections. Its unique characteristics, such as antibiotic resistance and asymptomatic carriage, pose challenges for diagnosis and treatment. We'll delve into the prevalence of MG nationally and globally and its association with symptoms like urethritis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Promoting sexual health and encouraging male screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is a critical skill for all providers. Many STIs present asymptomatically in males, making routine screening essential for early detection and treatment. Common barriers that may prevent males from seeking STI screening, such as stigma, misconceptions, and lack of awareness, and understanding these barriers is key to developing effective strategies for promoting screening uptake. Attendees will also gain insights into communication strategies that foster a comfortable environment for discussing sensitive topics related to male sexual and reproductive health, ensuring improved patient outcomes.

This presentation will provide healthcare professionals with an in-depth understanding of the most prevalent sexual and reproductive health issues affecting males. We will explore a range of conditions, including sexual dysfunction, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), prostate health, infertility, and other shared concerns. We will give special attention to pharmacological interventions, lifestyle modifications, and multidisciplinary approaches to care. Attendees will gain valuable insights into tailoring individualized, evidence-based treatment plans, monitoring progress, managing complex cases, and ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
