The Comprehensive 2025 Update on Office-Based Primary Care Medicine
Harvard Office Practice of Primary Care Medicine provides comprehensive reviews of the most important recent advances impacting primary care medicine and guidance to incorporate these changes into practice for state-of-the-art care. Education is practical and results-focused, structured to help you optimize your approach to the wide array of conditions seen in primary care practice.
Our lectures and workshops are designed to provide practical, case-based reviews of physical exam skills, diagnostic techniques, and the latest in disease management. All sessions are taught by nationally and internationally recognized leaders in their respective fields of medicine. This year, we are asking specialist speakers to focus on the key takeaways they recommend for busy PCPs.
