  Learning Objectives  
 

At the end of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Primary Care Workup Challenges: Improve patient workup and management of common challenging issues, especially related to Mens/Womens/Pediatric/Geriatric health, ultimately resulting in more timely diagnosis and decreased specialty referrals.

  • Psychosocial: Use effective approaches to talk with patients about psychosocial issues that impact their health.

  • Pain Management: Incorporate a wide variety of pain management approaches, and when opioids are indicated, use effective counseling and documentation to avoid red flags.
