Educational Objectives

Primary Care 2017 offers a unique learning experience for physicians and health care professionals seeking to learn the latest information about medical advancements and treatment options.  LECOM faculty and guest lecturers will present topics pertinent to primary care physicians as well as to specialists. 

Primary Care 2017 will focus upon health problems commonly seen in the offices of primary care physicians.  The objective of this three-day seminar is to provide participating physicians with information about new medical advancements in order to increase the scope of treatment options available to primary care physicians and to enhance the physicians’ existing knowledge of topics that will be covered.

Two hours will also be devoted to the education and training on child abuse recognition and reporting approved by the Department of Human Services in accordance with Act 31.

Pre-Conference Workshop

The Lake Erie Integrated Geriatric Health Team (LIGHT) is supported by a $2.2 million Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) grant. The GWEP supports the development of a health care workforce that improves health outcomes for older adults by integrating geriatrics with primary care, maximizing patient and family engagement, and transforming the health care system. The LIGHT pre-conference will consist of continuing education sessions for all levels of licensed health care professionals and will prepare them for certification in geriatrics through the certifying body for each discipline.

Registrants may participate in this pre-conference geriatric focused workshop on Thursday, March 2 from 12-5pm.  This pre-conference workshop is an add-on to the Physician and Allied Health Professional registration options and provides five additional hours of CME credit.

If you wish to only attend the workshop, select the Geriatrics-only Workshop (5 credit hours) option or the Geriatrics-only Workshop (10 credit hours) option on the registration page.  An additional five credit hours will be available to to those wishing to attend the geriatrics focused lectures on Friday, March 3.  

Please note, if you select one of the Geriatrics-only Workshop registration options, you do not need to add the pre-conference workshop add-on.
