- Short Description:
- Over 60% of health care providers experience one or more symptoms of burnout. The perceived clinician burden resulting in burnout arises from factors such as poor electronic health record (EHR) usability and documentation burden leading to less clinical time with patients. Burnout can have detrimental effects on health care quality and contributes to increased medical errors, decreased patient satisfaction, substance use, workforce attrition, and suicide. By removing redundant data entry and low value tasks from the electronic health record, we can reduce the administrative burden from the EHR, decrease cognitive load and allow physicians to document more efficiently.

- Between 2020 and 2060, the number of older adults is projected to increase by 69%, from 56 million to nearly 95 million. The number of people in the U.S. ages 85 and older is projected to nearly triple from 6.7 million in 2020 to 19 million by 2060. Yet over the next 20 years, the U.S. is projected to train 20-40% less hospice and palliative care specialists than needed to keep up with this rapidly aging population.

- Short Description:
- Hypertension is one of the most common chronic medical conditions, with implications in cardiovascular health (risk of myocardial infarction, stroke or kidney disease), as well as overall wellness. The goal of this presentation is to review the various guidelines of Hypertension management, focusing on the updated American Academy of Family Physicians 2022 guideline, while referencing others commonly referenced. The Osteopathic concept of Mind, Body, and Spirit will be reviewed and applied to empower the audience to make evidence-based, joint-decision making with an individual, Patient-Oriented approach to Hypertension management. Social Determinants of Healthcare (SDOH) will be discussed briefly, in effort to redirect away from race-based algorithms for Hypertension management.

- Short Description:
- Marijuana was legalized in Virginia in April 2021 for individuals over 21 years of age. With the legalization of marijuana, physicians will see a rise in patients asking about using cannabis as an alternate treatment for medical conditions such as pain, epilepsy, cancer, inflammation and many others. It is important for physicians to understand what marijuana is, the laws within their state, uses and side effects of cannabis so that they can make an informed decision regarding their prescribing of cannabis.

- Short Description:
- The American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) states that MASLD affects over 30% of the global population and is now the primary cause of chronic liver disease. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a major driver of hepatic disease and is associated with numerous conditions seen in primary care, such as prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, and dyslipidemia. Hepatic disease associated with MASLD exists on a spectrum and can progress to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma. Nomenclature of this condition, previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has recently been revised. This presentation will review the updated terminology, as well as review guidelines and recommendations that exist to help with screening, identification, monitoring, referral indications, and treatment of this disease.

- Short Description:
- In the current healthcare landscape, physicians are on the front lines of addressing the holistic health of their patients. Recognizing the impact of social media on children and adolescents allows physicians to provide comprehensive care that considers both physical and mental well-being. By being well-informed about social media use and its associated risks, physicians can effectively engage with patients and families, provide appropriate guidance, and identify potential concerns early on. This topic will cover evidence-based guidelines, practical strategies, and resources that physicians can integrate into their clinical practice to address the challenges of social media use. By gaining knowledge in this area, physicians can actively contribute to the overall well-being and digital health of the young individuals they care for.

- Short Description:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common, yet under recognized problem in America. In the last 5 years, a number of studies have been published describing new therapies to combat CKD and lower the rate of end stage kidney disease. This presentation will cover these studies regarding SGLT2 inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and GLP-1 agonists to name a few. The goal is to provide practical and concise information, such that physician inertia in prescribing these therapies can be overcome.

- Short Description:
- Musculoskeletal complaints are present in 48% of the population and are the second-most reported reason patients PCPs. OMT has been shown to effectively treat many conditions such as low back pain with a reduced cost and need for concomitant medication use or medical intervention. OMT use among osteopathic physicians in the US continues to decline. Statistically significant barriers include lack of reimbursement, lack of time, lack of institutional practice/support, and lack of confidence/proficiency. The goal of this presentation is to provide insight for DOs to overcome these barriers to incorporating OMT into their practice.

- The opioid crisis and an epidemic of chronic pain affects an estimated 100 million Americans. With recent initiatives to change prescribing practices, new models for treating pain need to be explored and considered. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued new requirements for new and renewing DEA licenses starting on June 27, 2023 and physicians will need to complete continuing Medical Education credits to comply with these requirements.

- Performance-enhancing drug (PED) use, including anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS), is widespread in the US. Most PED users are typically male, motivated to improve muscularity and strength, and not necessarily performance. This represents a public health concern with potentially serious medical and psychiatric consequences; yet many physicians report inadequate education about this subject.

- Short Description:
- This presentation will cover the role of Physical therapy in pelvic floor dysfunction and expectations for evaluation and treatment. Pelvic floor dysfunction negatively impacts quality of life, however over half of symptomatic patients do not seek medical treatment. Patients may dismiss the idea of Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy due to their discomfort with exams, feelings of embarrassment, or lack of understanding of what to expect on the day of their appointment. Physicians' comfortability discussing Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy expectations can decrease patients’ anxiety regarding treatment and improve patient compliance with treatment and attendance.

- Short Description:
- In our modern 24/7 fast paced world, sleep is often neglected as a pillar of a healthy lifestyle and is instead esteemed as an indulgence or optional activity. It is the last thing we get to at the end of a busy day and the first thing we sacrifice when a lack of time demands it. One in three adults in America don’t get enough sleep and are often desensitized to its significance accepting it as a “norm.” Some have even worn it as a “badge of honor” in the medical community. This topic is important because we can no longer ignore the utmost importance of sleep and the ill effects of sleep deprivation that are linked to an increased risk of accidents, errors, injuries, poor work performance and productivity, strained relationships, adverse medical conditions, and early death.

- Short Description:
- Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a significant advance in bedside diagnosis and adjunct to the physical exam, yet a recent systematic review shows variable, but generally low use among general practitioners. The American Academy of Family Physicians recommended postgraduate curriculum guidelines for POCUS in family medicine. With the very recent technological improvements in handheld, bedside ultrasound technology, family medicine physicians may have received minimal exposure or training on POCUS. This can lead to poor adoption of this technology in primary care practice. Topics covered will include: appropriate uses of POCUS, probe selection, how to obtain quality images, illustration of the ultrasound views needed to answer specific clinical questions, and hands-on practice in obtaining POCUS images and interpreting image results.
