Fourth Annual Challenges in Internal Medicine
June 25 - 27, 2008
Course Description
Internists are faced with many new medical challenges every day. This course is specifically designed to update the practicing internist, primary care provider or specialist wanting to brush up on the timely advances in internal medicine. As novel treatments, both procedural and pharmaceutical, are increasingly being utilized for acute and chronic disease in inpatient and outpatient practices, many of these patients are being referred back to their primary care provider to continue their initiated course of care. This program will offer the provider a compendium of information that will better enable them to practice clinical medicine in 2008. We recognize that there are a number of CME courses offering varying updates in internal medicine, however, we wanted to create a course that will not only address these updates, but also assist the practitioner with evidenced-based concrete approaches to abnormal findings and provided information regarding new cutting edge technologies:
Managing Disease Processes
Medical Conundrums
- Handling Abnormals
- Challenging Scenarios
New Technologies
- New Diagnostic Modalities
- New Therapeutic Modalities
This material will be presented in lecture format, starting with a case presentation, followed by a didactic session highlighting the important issues, and concluded by offering reasonable therapeutic approaches that address the needs of our patients. Attendees will have ample opportunity to ask questions and interact with the experienced faculty of Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Discussions of challenging cases with and expert panel will take place several times during the program.
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
