Current Clinical Issues in Primary Care
Dear Colleagues,
From our conversations with clinicians over the past 16 years, we have come to understand how
difficult it is to juggle the responsibilities of your busy practice—from patient care and medical
challenges to budgets and administration—while staying up-to-date on the latest developments,
treatments, and practices in health care. We have listened to your wonderful suggestions and have
developed what we believe is an exceptional program in Fort Lauderdale. We’re delighted to invite you
to Current Clinical Issues in Primary Care, presented at the Pri-Med® South Conference & Exhibition.
This exciting 3-day primary care-focused CME course, developed by the distinguished faculty of
Harvard Medical School and University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, features more than 50
sessions covering disease states, emerging research, public health, and policy issues.
You’ll have an opportunity to hear world-renowned speakers such as John D. Goodson, MD, FACP, who
will present, “The Promise of Primary Care.” On Sunday, William O’Neill, MD will present, “Mending
a Broken Heart—Cardiology in the 21st Century.”
Current Clinical Issues in Primary Care will provide the opportunity to earn up to 17 AMA PRA
Category 1 Credit(s)™ at lectures presented by faculty of Harvard Medical School and University of
Miami Miller School of Medicine. You will also have time to network with other clinicians at an
educational activity specifically tailored to the needs of primary care providers like you.
Our goal in developing quality CME courses is always to inspire, empower, and inform. We invite
you to take an active part in the future of health care by attending this premier CME course,
Current Clinical Issues in Primary Care.
Each year, approximately 4,500 health care providers gather to learn, share, and explore the latest
research, technology, and ideas in primary care medicine. In its 14th year, Pri-Med South continues
to deliver—don’t miss it!
