Description:
Primary care physicians, allied health professionals, and nurses are of paramount importance in the care of patients. They play a fundamental role in the screening, diagnosis and treatment of many important medical conditions, as well as numerous impactful quality of life conditions— many of which can be treated definitively under the care of the primary care team.
The primary care team is often the gateway for patients to seek and obtain care for quality of life issues that can be very troublesome to patients. This is particularly true of pelvic fl oor disorders, such as urinary or fecal incontinence and pelvic prolapse. If not given the “safe” opportunity to express their troubles with sensitive issues such as those associated with pelvic floor disorders, many patients will unfortunately continue to live their lives with very treatable conditions. Appropriate knowledge and care in the primary setting can have a tremendous positive impact on patient’s lives.
This course will provide the primary care team with practical knowledge and approaches to many common uro-gynecologic conditions and pelvic floor disorders that are often encountered first by the primary care provider. The course will provide valuable information and practice tools to effectively meet the needs of our patients and know when to refer to the specialist.
Teaching methods include lectures, case presentations, and question and answer with faculty. Point-counterpoint and interactive multidisciplinary panel discussions will provide a practical perspective for review of the material presented.
