SPECIAL SYMPOSIA
This special symposium provides the primary care provider with the necessary tools to treat obesity medically and surgically and will offer resources to motivate your patients to live healthier lives.
Leading experts will provide practical, evidence-based options for treating patients with hepatitis and non-viral liver diseases. Diagnostic tools and management techniques will be highlighted to optimize patient outcomes.
Our faculty will demonstrate how to properly evaluate common disorders of the shoulder and knee. This symposium features live patient demonstrations and will provide you with strategies and tools to manage these challenging impairments.
A significant component of primary care clinicians overcoming the “50%” burnout rate will be the assumption of new responsibilities and roles. Being an advocate for patients are part of clinician training; being an advocate for ourselves is not well taught in medical school or post graduate training. This session will focus on first inspiring clinicians to lead, and then discussing the details of effective and professional leadership.
