Primary Care Skills and Procedures Review
The primary care setting is equipped to handle the majority of patient care needs. Primary care physicians can add value to their practices by becoming proficient in various procedures. Patients will benefit when these procedures are performed by their primary care physicians, with whom they are already familiar, because they avoid costly specialist visits and hospital facilities fees.
Participants in this program will learn the relevant anatomy, physiology, and equipment required to perform basic laceration repair, [which] joint injections, and sphenopalatine ganglion block, taught by specialists who perform these procedures on a regular basis. Opportunities for hands-on training will be provided.
Given the importance of supporting physician wellbeing, we will intersperse “exercise hacks” throughout the day that can incorporated into a physician’s busy schedule.
