UCSF Essentials of Primary Care A Core Curriculum for Ambulatory Practice 2025

Include: 6 videos 26 pdfs, size: 24 GB

Primary care clinicians must be highly skilled in preventive medicine, cardiovascular risk factors, day-to-day clinical problems, chronic disease management, communication skills, and optimal use of diagnostic tests and new medications. Health disparities and the care of vulnerable patients are a central part of our daily practice as we try to maximize quality, safety, equity, and value. Close collaboration with other specialists, inpatient colleagues, and diverse teams of health professionals is essential for the care of our complex patients. In addition to a full discussion of common problems in primary care and preventive medicine, this course will also focus on clinical skills and problem-solving in dermatology, women’s health, clinical nutrition, neurology, oncology, infectious diseases, and interprofessional collaboration. The course will utilize formal lectures, case discussions, practical workshops, an audience response system, questions and answers, a detailed syllabus, and on-demand access to course recordings. Remote learning opportunities will also be available.

Target Audience
This course, chaired by Dr. Robert B. Baron and taught by some of UCSF’s best teachers, is designed for practicing internists, family practitioners, advance practice providers, and all other health professionals interested in providing high quality primary care.

Objectives

The purpose of this course is to increase competence and improve clinician practice in primary care. We specifically anticipate improvements in skills and strategies to:

• Develop up-to-date strategies for common office problems including lipid disorders, diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, chronic kidney disease, obesity, and STI’s.

• Understand and treat obesity and use the new obesity medications, surgery, and lifestyle interventions;
• Perform an effective problem-based history, physical examination, and common procedures in dermatology and office orthopaedics.
• Understand the best initial management strategies for common cancers, current uses of new cancer medications, and best practices for giving prognostic advice.

• Understand best practices in assessment and treatment of common mental health disorders;
• Use best evidence and optimize patient communication and shared-decision making;
