Essentials of Primary Care: A Core Curriculum for Ambulatory
Practice
Resort at Squaw Creek, North Lake Tahoe, California
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive "core curriculum" in
adult primary care. The course will serve as an excellent update
and review for current primary care physicians and other primary care
professionals, and as an opportunity for specialists to expand their
primary care knowledge and skills. Particular emphasis will be
placed on principles of primary care; office-based preventive medicine;
practical management of the most common problems seen in primary care
practice; and expanded skills in clinical examination and common office
procedures. Special emphasis will be placed on skills in
dermatology, psychiatry, gynecology and women’s health, and
neurology. For more information, visit www.cme.ucsf.edu

Obstetrics and Gynecology Update: What Does the Evidence Tell
Us?
Sir Francis Drake Hotel, San Francisco
New information on obstetric and gynecologic practice is being produced
at a rapid rate. Leaders in the field, including those at the
American
College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists, are taking an evidencebased approach
when formulating practice guidelines. Review of the agendas and speakers
lists of CME courses given across the country reveals that many courses
do not place an adequate emphasis on reviewing currently available data
with conference participants. This course will provide such an
emphasis.
