OVERALL OBJECTIVES: The overall objective is to provide the participant with practical and clinically relevant information. Upon completion of this CME activity, the physician or healthcare provider should be able to describe the current approach to formulating differential diagnoses, diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive management of the various disciplines presented.
NEEDS STATEMENT: This course will teach appropriate physical exams, diagnosis, treatment and dispositions of skeletal trauma, LBP, common fractures and painful extremity and joint disorders. The topics of Pain Management, Sedation and even Abdominal Pain will be discussed as well. The specialty of Orthopedics and understanding the management of pain in general is of great importance to all EM, Primary Care practices, and urgent care settings. Therefore, a need exists for practitioners in these clinical settings to review and be knowledgeable in their physical exam, x-ray interpretation, diagnostic and treatment/referral skills relative to these issues. This activity will provide an excellent overview of practical approaches and solutions to the problems presented.
