Forward52nd Annual Winter Refresher Course for Family Medicine
The Winter Refresher Course provides evidence-based updates for family physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other primary care clinicians who practice in a variety of settings and provide preventive, acute, and chronic care in adult medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, sports medicine, and behavioral health.
While we will miss gathering in person for one more year, we are excited to offer the 2022 WRC via an enhanced virtual experience through PheedLoop – including an easy to navigate platform, networking opportunities, a virtual exhibit hall, and on-demand access to conference materials to allow attendees to obtain CME for sessions they may have missed during the live event. We hope you will join us!
Target Audience
- Family Medicine Physicians
- Nurse Practitioners
Learning Objectives
Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to:
- Apply current evidence-based preventive and chronic disease management guidelines to patient care.
- Discuss up-to-date recommendations for caring for sequellae of the COVID-19 epidemic (e.g., Long-haul symptoms, trauma and loss), to promote optimal, trauma-informed patient care.
- Examine the scientific evidence for the use of nutritional strategies in the prevention and management of common conditions affected by diet and weight status.
- Discuss tools and best practices for managing opiate use disorder in the primary care setting.
