Geri-Duty: Let's Get Physical
This session aims to refresh your knowledge and stimulate interest in performing a thorough and focused physical exam (PE), particularly in the geriatric population. Whether part of a Medicare evaluation or a routine office visit, the PE provides an opportunity to develop rapport, trust, and potentially to discover clinically significant findings that might otherwise have gone unrecognized. A series of brief scenarios will be used to illustrate important yet basic concepts such as differentiation between normal age-related findings versus indicators of worrisome disease processes and atypical presentation of disease. Now, Let’s Get Physical!
Please note that any data, indications, and guidelines presented in this activity are current as of the recording/release on 9/12/2020 and they are subject to change as new information is published.
State licensure: This activity may satisfy topic-based CME/CE requirements on Geriatrics. Please check with your state licensing board for their specific requirements and print this page as documentation, as might be needed.
