Seminar Overview/Statement of Purpose
PES is fortuitous to have dental and medical practitioners interpreting a variety of specialties participating in the CME/CE sessions. PES recognizes the importance of contributing inter-professional healthcare education, allowing colleagues to earn cross-specialty perspectives and updates in the treatment and prevention of disease. The need to adopt best practice models in the circumstances of emerging healthcare reforms reshaping patient care delivery and access to care is an important issue for all healthcare practitioners.

Changing population demographics and increasing chronic disease patterns are key factors impacting primary healthcare practice and delivery in the Pacific Rim area. Confronting the challenges of delivering quality patient care in the face of these emerging changes is fast becoming a global issue for medical practitioners.

Family Practice physicians in the US, Australia, and New Zealand share these challenges. Community healthcare development in both areas reveals the need to establish current best practice protocols dealing with the increasing longevity of human populations and the growth of geriatric and palliative care needs. In addition, providing better prevention and treatment strategies addressing obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer is a continuing challenge for both areas.

Now, more than ever, it is important for medical professionals to collaborate with colleagues and global counterparts to gain cross-cultural perspectives and updates in the treatment and prevention of disease. By design, this program offers opportunities for professionals to compare and contrast current best practices to administer quality patient care and outcomes in their own professional setting.

Planned In Country Healthcare Topics Include:
• Modifying Demographics & Chronic Disease Patterns in the Pacific: Impact on Healthcare Practice
• From the Aborigines to the Maori: Healthcare Demands in Indigenous Cultures
• From Treatment to Prevention: The Upside from Down Under
• Overview of the Healthcare Systems of New Zealand & Australia
• Emerging Medical & Dental Issues: Treatment & Prevention
• Medical/Dental Focus on Preventative Care
• Updates in Medicine and Dentistry

Educational Goals:
Our purpose is to provide unparalleled CME/CE travel opportunities for healthcare professionals that combine their most intense destination desires with their educational goals, fostering exceptional learning experiences, friendships and connections with national and international colleagues.
• Lead instructional healthcare plans to study best practice models that indicate current advances in medicine and healthcare across different cultures to provide quality patient outcomes
• Generate professional educational shifts with international colleagues, healthcare educational organizations and clinics to earn cross-cultural perspectives and updates in the treatment and prevention of disease
• Support medical/healthcare professionals to analyze and contrast current best practices in medical/healthcare to administer quality patient outcomes in their own professional setting

Learning Objectives:
Keep abreast of the rapid development of medical knowledge and current best practice models on multiple topics to promote change and thus provide continually excellent patient care. By design, this program permits medical experts to collaborate with colleagues and international counterparts to discern cross-cultural viewpoints and updates within the treatment and prevention of disease and offers opportunities to compare and contrast current best practices to supply quality patient care and outcomes in their own professional setting.
