UCSF 51st Annual Advances in Internal Medicine 2023 The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed primary care practice. Difficult management decisions must now be made in transformed ambulatory environments and via telemedicine.

Despite the change in our practice environments, primary care clinicians must continue to focus on preventive medicine, reduction of cardiovascular risk factors, day-to-day clinical problems, chronic disease management, women’s health, geriatrics, behavioral medicine, 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. This course will present a comprehensive review of new developments in outpatient medicine, controversies in primary care practice, and up-to-the minute updates in care of patients with COVID-19. The course will focus on the skills and strategies needed in day-to-day office practice. The curriculum will feature in-depth discussion of challenging cases in preventive medicine, common problems in ambulatory care, and a broad selection of acute and chronic illnesses.

Now in its 51st year, this course reviews the most recent developments and current controversies in the field of internal medicine. Particular emphasis will be placed on topics of clinical relevance to the practicing physician. The course will include:

Didactic Lectures – Clinically active faculty from the Department of Medicine will emphasize recent clinical advances.

Year-in-Review Literature Reviews – Faculty will review major articles from the general medical specialty literature with immediate importance to clinical practice.

Questions and Answers – Ample time will be provided for specific questions and discussions of problems commonly encountered by course participants.

Internal Medicine Topics – Areas to be covered include cardiology, geriatrics, endocrinology, general internal medicine, women’s health, infectious diseases, gastroenterology, hematology and oncology, neurology, rheumatology, and pulmonary disease.

Advances in Internal Medicine is presented by the Department of Medicine and is sponsored by the Office of Continuing Medical Education of the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine.

Objectives:

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

• Better manage medical conditions commonly encountered by the practitioners in internal medicine and related specialties, such as vaccination, cancer screening, constipation, anemia, diabetes, chronic pain, and obesity;
• Bring practice in line with current evidence and updated guidelines for conditions such as ischemic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, COVID-19 infection, and obstructive lung disease;
• Manage common problems traditionally treated by specialists, such as heart failure, palliative care, hyperparathyroidism, and dementia, as well as recognize the indications for referral to a subspecialist.
