1. Acute Pain Management in Patients with Opioid Use Disorder

Discover evidence-based strategies for managing acute pain in patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and gain practical tools for delivering compassionate and effective care. During this session you will learn practical insights into screening, diagnosis, and standard medication management of OUD before diving into a step-by-step, multimodal strategy for treating acute pain in this unique population. Designed to enhance physician knowledge and confidence, the presentation will also address safe and equitable prescribing practices. The session will close with a discussion on bias, stigma, and provide actionable ways to foster equity within interdisciplinary teams.

2. Addressing Health Disparities Among Formerly Incarcerated Populations

Our nation’s carceral system is disproportionately comprised of individuals with complex chronic medical and behavioral health conditions, including serious mental illness (Constantine et al., 2010), substance use disorders (Bronson et al., 2017), and racial and ethnic minorities (Carson, 2020), who already face systemic health disparities. After release, these individuals encounter heightened health risks, including a twelvefold increase in all-cause mortality within the first two weeks and a staggering relative risk of 129 for death from drug overdose (Binswanger et al., 2007). Despite their critical role in addressing these disparities, family physicians often lack adequate training to meet the unique needs of justice-involved individuals transitioning to community settings. This presentation, co-facilitated by a family and addiction physician and a formerly incarcerated leader of a reentry organization in Washtenaw County, will examine the profound health challenges tied to incarceration. Attendees will gain practical insights into engaging and supporting justice-involved individuals, explore innovative care models in re-entry medicine, and learn the value of multidisciplinary teamwork and peer support services in transforming outcomes for this vulnerable population.

4. How Climate Change Shapes Health: Insights for Family Physicians

The broad spectrum of primary care encourages family medicine physicians to be informed about circumstances, environments, and exposures that can positively or negatively impact health outcomes and population health. During this presentation you will discover the critical connection between climate change, acute and chronic medical conditions, and overall health outcomes across the United States. Examine the role of primary care in addressing these challenges while learning about the importance of climate and environmental advocacy.

5. OMT for the MD: Tackling Low Back, Hip, and Pelvic Pain

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common challenges faced in primary care, often requiring a well-rounded, multi-disciplinary approach. This session highlights how Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) can be a transformative tool for MD’s and DO’s in managing LBP effectively. By examining the biomechanical factors contributing to pain, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the anatomy of the lumbar spine, hip, sacrum, and pelvis, laying the groundwork for more accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments. Attendees will explore strategies to build a comprehensive differential diagnosis for low back, hip, sacral, and pelvic pain, while developing practical examination techniques to identify the root causes. The session will also demonstrate how to translate biomechanical findings into actionable treatment plans and seamlessly integrate OMT into patient care. By the end of this hands-on experience, providers will feel empowered to elevate their approach to LBP, improving outcomes and enhancing their clinical practice.

6. Recognizing and Addressing Eating Disorders: A Guide for Outpatient Primary Care

Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, are prevalent and serious, with anorexia having the second highest mortality rate of any mental health disorder. As primary care physicians, it is crucial to recognize the signs of eating disorders and understand how to support patients in their treatment journey. Although these conditions are widespread, training on this topic remains minimal in most medical schools and residency programs. This session will equip family physicians with essential knowledge and tools to address eating disorders effectively.

8. Turning $90 into $1,000,000 – Strategies for Growing Practice Revenue

Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a thriving independent practice? Beyond a deep clinical knowledge base and caring bedside manner, physicians must develop a broad range of skills and competencies. This session offers a behind-the-scenes look at the successes, challenges, and key lessons that shaped the journey of growing my independent family medicine practice, founded in 2016. You’ll gain valuable insights into the skills and strategies developed each year, and see real-world financial data, including revenue projections and year-end balance sheets. From mastering financial management to navigating market changes, this presentation will equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to forge your own path to success.

9. Understanding Nutraceuticals: Evidence Based Recommendations

As more patients turn to natural remedies for common health issues, it is crucial family medicine physicians understand the evidence supporting popular supplements. This session examines the evidence behind common supplements often discussed by patients and provides family medicine physicians with the tools to evaluate and select high-quality options. By the end of the session, physicians will be better equipped to recommend supplements that align with their patients' health goals. By enhancing their understanding of nutraceuticals, physicians can confidently integrate supplements into care plans, foster respect for patient autonomy, and collaborate effectively to tailor supplementation based on the patient’s needs and goals.
