Conference Description
The Southwestern Conference on Medicine® is an annual event
designed to bridge practice gaps between primary care providers’
current knowledge and practice performance, and the ever evolving
standards of care in modern medicine. Primary care providers are
minimally exposed to the continual influx of new research data,
recent studies and emerging disease states and lack expert
mentoring to be able to improve their practice performance and
patient outcomes. By providing the latest findings and
technological advances, the Conference will allow healthcare
professionals to advise their patients in order to improve patient
care for improved future health. The faculty for this Conference
will address practice gaps by providing cutting edge diagnosis and
treatment options as well as best practice guidelines in areas
including but not limited to cardiology, psychiatry, pediatrics,
endocrinology, urology, infectious disease, oncology, hematology,
ophthalmology, risk management, ethics and professionalism. The
content of this educational activity was developed based on data
collected from previous Conference attendees, previous outcomes
measurement tools, the Planning Committee’s perceptions of needed
improvements in primary care diagnoses and treatments, national and
local statistical information and the review of current trends and
technology in medical literature.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to: recognize, analyze and assess
current issues in primary care and internal medicine; identify and
utilize new treatment methods; review new guidelines for treatment
of a number of disease states and disorders; discuss cases
regarding new treatment options and technological advances; utilize
the most up to date clinical and scientific information in
practice; examine case studies, patient outcomes, research results
and best practice guidelines for application in clinical practice;
appropriately evaluate patients for referral.
