Debate, discuss and dialogue with faculty and colleagues on your schedule at Pri-Med Access with ACP

Pri-Med Access and American College of Physicians have created an all-new CME curriculum that will explore advances in efficient and cost-effective diagnoses and care related to:

• Assessment of cardiovascular risk factors

• Evaluation/management of musculoskeletal pain and respiratory diseases

• Work-up of gastrointestinal complaints

• Prompt identification of community acquired infectious disease

3+ hours dedicated to Q&A

You’ll have time to dialogue with our expert faculty, who are practicing clinicians as well as leading educators. You’ll have opportunities to share ideas and confirm your clinical approaches. The format is flexible—sign up for one course, one day, or the full two-day program.

Realize immediate returns on your time investment

• The techniques, treatments, and therapies you’ll learn about today will improve your patients’ care tomorrow

• Immediately apply “clinical pearls” in the care of your patients

Plus, expand your knowledge by attending optional, non-CME certified, industry-led presentations on the latest therapeutic products during breaks from your CME sessions. Learn more.

*Industry refers to pharmaceutical or medical device companies or agents working on their behalf.

Pri-Med thanks the following organizations for informing clinicians of the program: Aetna, and American Society of Hypertension, Inc..
