OVERVIEW

Sports Medicine: A Primary Care Perspective is organized by American Medical Seminars (AMS) and will be held from Nov 12 - 14, 2018 at The Westin Sarasota, Sarasota, Florida, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is Primary Care Practitioners such as Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, General Practice and even Specialists who would like practical and clinically relevant reviews and updates in Primary Care Medicine. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

This is a new 3-day conference but can be combined with the new 2 Day – Medical Marijuana: What Primary Care Providers Need To Know conference by selecting the option labelled “2 Event Ticket” for a reduced discounted price. By selecting that option, you will be registered for both conferences.

Following this course, the participant should be able to develop an approach to patients with sports related injuries using guidelines and evidence–based medicine. They should be able to apply a treatment plan for sports concussion using the return-to-play guidelines; identify patients with cardiac complications and determine their eligibility to play sports. This activity will also review commonly seen sports related disorders to allow the participant to identify the diagnosis and therapeutic options. This activity is expected to result in improved competence in making an appropriate diagnosis and providing effective treatment and referral or follow-up care with the overall goal of improving patient outcomes.

The emphasis will be on aligning physician behavior with current guidelines and evidence-based medicine, as indicated within each topic’s specific objectives. In general, this course was designed for all practitioners at the level of a practicing physician to provide an update in their practice strategies and abilities to diagnose, treat and improve patient care.
