• Understand the impact that COVID-19 has had on primary care practice and use best practices to treat patients with COVID-related conditions;
• Treat common disorders in dermatology including skin cancer, eczema, acne, hair loss, chronic urticaria, drug eruptions, skin infections, and disorders of aging skin;
• Understand and treat obesity and use the new obesity medications;
• Manage common concerns in women’s health including contraception and menopause;
• Understand the most recent evidence on use of vitamins, nutritional supplements, and exercise;
• Increase expertise in managing common and commonly-missed orthopedic problems;
• Develop best practices in giving prognostic advice for common cancers;
• Select the best current and future diagnostic tests and best new medications, including new cancer therapies;
• Use best evidence and optimize patient communication and shared-decision making;
• Improve interprofessional teamwork and collaboration;
