For over 12 years, Pri-Med Conference & Exhibition events have provided unprecedented access to those individuals blazing new pathways to better patient care. Pri-Med Conference & Exhibition was created to provide physicians like you with a more convenient, more concise, more cost-effective alternative for enhanced learning and CME credits. Its 4 distinct programs let you choose the best approach to benefit your patients, your practice, and your schedule. We offer a diverse spectrum of learning opportunities in one place, including Current Clinical Issues in Primary Care lectures, Practice Solutions sessions, Industry-Supported Symposia, and an interactive Exhibit Hall.

Current Clinical Issues in Primary Care
The core three-day program is developed and presented by nationally-recognized faculty from Harvard Medical School and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Grouped into concurrent morning and afternoon sessions, the program offers over 50 clinical lectures addressing challenges faced by primary care practitioners today. Enjoy the freedom of attending any lecture you choose over the three days of the course, while earning up to 17 AMA category 1 creditsTM.

Course Objectives

After completing the Harvard Medical School course, attendees will be better able to:
Diagnose and manage common conditions in effective and efficient ways that improve outcomes for patients.
Evaluate the evidence behind new guidelines and recommendations.
Enhance communication techniques to increase patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment.
Practice Solutions
Two days of cutting edge education developed by Physicians Practice, America's Leading Practice Management Journal, focusing on technology, practice management, patient care and more. The program, sponsored by Pri-Med Institute, addresses your needs as healthcare professionals to receive information, resources and education in the areas of technology and practice-based approaches and solutions.

Program Objectives

After completing Practice Solutions, attendees will be better able to:

Identify at least three technologies that may be used by clinicians to improve patient outcomes.
Describe how technology-based solutions can positively impact patient safety, cost of delivering care, and clinician efficiency.
Earn additional CME credit at Industry-Supported Symposia
Pri-Med is pleased to offer you the opportunity to attend independent symposia supported by unrestricted educational grants from the pharmaceutical industry. These symposia will take place during the breaks in the Harvard Medical School/David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA program. Each organization has contributed to Pri-Med in support of its educational mission. This support is gratefully acknowledged - however, this acknowledgement does not imply an endorsement of any product. Attendance at these programs is limited and requires tickets for admission and to earn CME credit. Register for these symposia early to ensure admission to the programs of your choice. Industry-Supported Symposia are not affiliated with Harvard Medical School

New! Electronic Syllabi for Pri-Med West 2009

You will receive an email to notify you once the syllabus is posted and available for you to view. Upon arriving at the convention center, you will receive an Attendee Bag containing the On-site Directory at the Badge Holder Pick-up counters. This Directory contains brief descriptions of all the sessions as well as times and room locations to guide you through the conference. We look forward to seeing you in Anaheim in May!
