Here's A Snippet of What You'll learn

"Learn how Low Dose Naltrexone is quickly becoming one of the most used therapies in treating various autoimmune, neurodegenerative and chronic pain cases. Did you now that LDN is now being studied as an adjunct therapy to certain cancers? Learn the scientific evidence and the many mechanisms by which LDN has become the most important tool in a practitioner's toolbox as well as all you need to know to start using it to help your patients starting on Monday morning."
Nicholas Palermo, DO and Gene Gresh, RPh, IFMCP
Low Dose Naltrexone in the Treatment of Autoimmune Neurodegenerative Disorder
"Successful leadership involves recognizing and developing a series of interconnected prime skills to help improve one’s ability to influence others and stimulate change. Specifically, leading as a physician in patient care vs. leading as a physician in organizations/health systems require different skills. Concepts such as situational leadership, communication styles, understanding perspectives, persuasion techniques and building relationships will be discussed."
Karen J. Nichols, DO, MA, MACOI, FACP, CS-F
Leadership In Medicine
Common Sports Injuries and the Role of Imaging will explore common musculoskeletal injuries/complaints presenting to the PCP and the role of imaging in helping to make the diagnosis and directing treatment. Most injuries do not require MRI or additional imaging and diagnosis and treatments can be directed based on the history and physical. When additional imaging is necessary, directing providers to order the proper imaging along with tips to get imaging approved due to the insurance regulations.
