Internal Medicine Review for Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants & Primary Care Physicians

COURSE LOCATION
The Kahler Grand Hotel

Rochester, MN 55902

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This annual interdisciplinary course offers participants an overview of current topics in internal medicine including interactive case studies using automated audience response system. Interdisciplinary speakers present diverse clinical topics chosen for applicability to NP/PA and primary care physician practice settings.  As complex patients transition care to the outpatient arena, current guideline based medicine typically initiated in the hospital setting continues to be important as patients transition out of the acute care setting. 

COMMENTS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
As a first-time conference attendee (new NP), I found this event to be a must-attend with so much valuable information to learn. The faculty at this conference were fantastic! They made everyone feel welcome and ensured they interacted with each participant. The instructors brought great energy!

This conference is always excellent. This is my third time attending the Internal Medicine Update for NPs, PAs, and PCPs, and it never disappoints. It's packed with valuable updates, and I really appreciate the in-person option. I enjoy the opportunity to connect with others during the event and love meeting up with fellow providers!
