Recorded for the 2018 Urgent Care Fall Conference
1 hour and 12 minutes of synced audio and PowerPoint
Course Description:Articles that are relevant to urgent care medicine can be published in a wide range of journals, including primary care, urgent care, emergency medicine, and others. It's hard to keep up with everything that's going on in the literature, but remains an important aspect of professional development for every practicing clinician. Dr Andy Barnett will review the most important peer-reviewed publications for the 12 months leading up to the conference, and present a brief synopsis of the 10 most important papers published during that time. This is a very high-yield session that will bring clinicians up to speed on the latest developments in the science of our specialty.
