| An optional evening professional CME event will be added this year,
occurring on the evening of September 25, 2007: Put a Palm in your Practice
or PDAs for PAs: |
For those who approach new technology with fear and trembling, come see
how PDAs can help bring the latest evidence based information to your
fingertips at the bedside. PDAs can help reduce medication errors, organize
your schedule, help your differential diagnosis and even study for the
boards. This one hour workshop will demonstrate the latest medical software
and hardware in a user friendly manner. There will be a drawing for free
software products.
The PDA session is optional, and will have a separate small registration
fee.
| The Review consists of lectures to refresh the learner's knowledge on a
wide range of core medical problems and content including reviews of
Dermatology, Pediatrics, Fluid and Electrolytes, GI Disorders, Psychiatry,
ENT, Ophthalmology , Cardiology, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Neurological Disorders,
Orthopedics, Endocrinology, Pulmonary Disorders, Infectious Disease,
Hematology, EKG interpretation, Chest X-ray interpretation, OB-GYN, and other
topics. |
| The Review Conference is designed based upon the list of topics
potentially on the PANCE / PANRE as provided by the NCCPA, and by review of
the PANCE / PANRE board exam matrix of question distribution. Obviously, the
exact content of the PANCE and PANRE exams is confidential and not known to
the developers of the Review Conference, and no suggestion is made that the
Review Conference or practice exam questions represent the level of complexity
or distribution of topics on the actual examinations. |
| This program has been reviewed and is approved for a maximum of 35
hours of AAPA Category I (Preapproved) CME credit by the Physician Assistant
Review Panel. Physician assistants should claim only those hours actually
spent participating in the CME activity.
This program was planned in accordance with AAPA’s CME Standards for Live
Programs and for Commercial Support of Live Programs.
