41st Annual UC Davis Fingers to the Toes : A Comprehensive Review of Primary Care Orthopedics
In-Person Event
Jun 11 - 16, 2017
Fallen Leaf, California, USA
OVERVIEW
41st Annual UC Davis Fingers to the Toes : A Comprehensive Review of Primary Care Orthopedics is organized by UC Davis Health System and would be held during Jun 11 - 16, 2017 at Stanford Sierra Camp, South Lake Tahoe, California, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is basically for general, family practice, and emergency physicians, pediatricians, internists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses. This cme conference has been approved with maximum of 29.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Primary care providers have a tremendous challenge to initially evaluate all medical problems brought to them by their patients. However, few primary care residency programs provide satisfactory exposure to orthopaedics. This conference is designed to update participants on the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of common and serious orthopaedic conditions. Emergency physicians can expect to use the information to care for the patient with an acute orthopaedic injury.
Emphasizing an anatomical approach, we begin with the fingers and proceed through the upper limb, down the spine, along the leg to the toes. This approach provides a comprehensive review of orthopaedics that is applicable to daily practice and is clinically relevant. Information on topics will include the physical exam to diagnose and medically manage certain orthopaedic conditions; functional knowledge of anatomy; choosing correct casting/splinting for specific injuries; proper referrals; joint tap injections; x-ray interpretations; osteoporosis; and pediatric orthopaedic exam, diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
• Anatomical review workshops
• Work with cadaver specimens
• Joint tap injections practice
• Practical experience in casting and splinting techniques
Objectives:
• Better evaluate common fractures and dislocations
• Interpret X-rays
• Screen and evaluate pediatric and adolescent hip and knee problems
• Identify the principles of healing
• Cast and tape orthopaedic injuries
• Describe clinically relevant gross anatomy
• Better evaluate and treat sprains, strains and soft tissue problems in the musculoskeletal system
• Diagnose and treat osteoporosis
