Update in
Internal Medicine
Target Audience
Primary care providers, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and specialists in Internal
Medicine and Family Practice seeking updates in practical knowledge relating to patient care.
Purpose and
Content
The Update in Internal Medicine is a program emphasizing topics requested by our referring physicians, controversies arising from journal clubs, and posed by our trainees. The program highlights diagnostic and therapeutic solutions based on the most recent clinical science. The goal of the program is to provide state-of-the-art practical advice on issues identified as frequent items for consultation and second opinions, as well as new advances in applying molecular techniques in translational medicine.
Educational
Objectives
Upon completion of this symposium, the participants should be able to link the educational objectives to Core Competencies (Medical Knowledge and Patient Care) and be able to:
• Integrate new guidelines on hypertension into clinical practice
• Utilize noninvasive screening for colorectal cancer in appropriate patients
• Identify patients who should be on neprilysin inhibitors for CHF
• Discuss therapy for CTO coronary disease with their patients
• Implement vaccination for HPV in appropriate patient groups
Accreditation
The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center is accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
