Tracks

Business & Leadership

This track will provide education for clinicians working in offices, clinics, and hospitals to improve leadership and management skills. The sessions will focus on assisting attendees with the development of business and leadership skills critical to both business and management positions. Nurse practitioners interested in legislative issues will be introduced to opportunities for involvement in legislative initiatives.

Cardiovascular & Pulmonary

This track will provide the latest evidence-based information on cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions encountered in the primary care and non-acute hospital settings. The cardiovascular sessions will examine cardiovascular disease, appropriate diagnostic testing, management, and preventative interventions. The pulmonary sessions will include the latest guidelines and recommendations for diagnosing and treating commonly encountered pulmonary diseases. Expert speakers will utilize lecture, case studies and audience interaction to provide evidence- based cardiovascular and pulmonary content.

Convenient Care & Urgent Care

The sessions in this track focus on education pertinent for clinicians employed in a community setting. The topics will address effective autonomous evidence based decision making in an urgent or convenient care setting. The assessment skills necessary for astute clinical decision making will be addressed, while integrating the skill of providing excellent patient care in a readily accessible setting. The speakers are experts in the topics and care provided in this type of setting.

Endocrine/Metabolic & Neurology

This track will provide up-to-date education for clinicians caring for patients with a variety of endocrine, metabolic and neurological diseases. Sessions will examine the latest research and treatments to effectively and confidently care for the epidemic of patients with diabetes and obesity as well as improve attendees' base of knowledge in many common and uncommon endocrine and neurological disorders. The presenters, who are experts in their topics, will explore pathophysiology and recommended pharmacotherapeutic and non- pharmacotherapeutic interventions based on the latest evidence and guidelines.

Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

This energetic and fun track is geared towards clinicians currently practicing (or intending to practice) in orthopedics and/or sports medicine (including occupational medicine). It may also be of interest to other experienced nurse practitioners wanting to enhance their orthopedic knowledge base. We will explore evidence based practice, diagnostics and current standards of care with timely topics designed to expand your horizons. Speakers will include nationally known experts who will provide lively and interactive presentations.
