OVERVIEW
The purpose of this course is to increase competence and improve clinician practice in internal medicine. We specifically anticipate improvements in skills and strategies to:
To better manage commonly encountered medical problems such as hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, urinary tract infection, headache, depression, and obstructive & restrictive lung disease.
Align practice patterns more with current evidence and guidelines with respect to heart disease prevention, heart failure, cancer screening, chronic pain management, and preoperative medical evaluation.
Manage common problems traditionally treated by specialists, such as cerebrovascular disease, HIV infection, end-of-life care, fatty liver disease, rheumatologic disorders, as well as recognize the indications for referral to a subspecialist.
