10:00-11:00am Rheumatoid Arthritis – review and new treatment modalities Howard Feinberg, DO, FACOI, FACR Rheumatoid arthritis is a lifelong disease, although patients can go into remission. Physicians must be aware of common comorbidities. Several promising new disease-modifying drugs recently have become available, including leflunomide, tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, and anakinra. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and nonpharmacologic modalities also are useful.

3:30 – 5:30 pm Aggressively Treating Diabetes Richard Snow, DO, MPH This is a pilot program of the Performance Improvement Continuing Medical Education Initiative as part of the Osteopathic Performance Improvement Network (OPIN)
OPIN will deliver education related to closing gaps in knowledge, competencies and performance as identified in the needs assessment including education on the value of performance improvement in practice. In addition to delivering education the webcast and live series will be used to recruit participants into the performance improvement platform. It is intended for healthcare professionals who directly care for diabetic patients in family medicine, internal medicine and endocrinology.
As part of this Diabetes education pilot program 75 physicians volunteers attending this presentation will be able to participate in the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) for 2 years at no charge (a $200 savings). This initiative was developed by CMS in 2007 as a voluntary pay-for-reporting program that provides a 2% financial incentive payment to eligible professionals for reporting data on quality measures for covered services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries.

12:00-2:00 pm Lunch
2:00-3:00 pm Translating genomic information into personalized medical care Brandon Colby, MD While determining your exact genetic makeup through genetic testing is important, the manner in which that data is analyzed and presented to you is what makes the information truly invaluable. Genetic analysis is the process of interpreting the meaning of the information obtained through genetic testing so that you are able to act upon it. The primary goal of predictive medicine is not simply to alert you to diseases your patients are predisposed to, but to empower you to predict and protect against those diseases before they even manifest.
3:00-4:00pm Genomic Medicine in Clinical Practice Steven Berley, DO While the genomic era in clinical medicine is just beginning to gain traction in every day clinical medicine, current trends in research suggest that in the next couple of years a rapidly expanding number of genomic laboratory tests and therapeutic options will be available to the clinician with demonstrable clinical validity and utility. This lecture will present an overview of several different categories within medicine where genomic research is transitioning into daily practice.

8:00-9:00 am Exercise is Medicine Adrian Hutber, DO Exercise is Medicine™ is a multi-organizational, multi-national initiative focused on encouraging primary care physicians and other health care providers to include exercise when designing treatment plans for patients. Exercise is Medicine is committed to the belief that exercise and physical activity are integral in the prevention and treatment of diseases and should be regularly assessed as part of all medical care. The guiding principles are: exercise and physical activity are important to health and the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases; more should be done to address physical activity and exercise in health care settings and encouragement of efforts to bring a greater focus on physical activity and exercise in health care settings.

4:00-5:00 pm Pain management - Pharmacological consideration in the control of Non Malignant Pain in the elderly Ronnie Martin, DO, FACOFP, dist. Acute and chronic nonmalignant pain is a growing concern for America’s family physicians. A 2005 survey found that 19 percent of American adults reported suffering from chronic pain, and another 34 percent reported recurrent pain. The same survey suggests that this pain is also somewhat undertreated: While some 63 percent of patients said that they had spoken to their physician about their pain, only 31 percent reported complete relief, and 21 percent reported little to no relief. This lecture will address the special concerns of the pharmacological treatment of pain in the elderly patient
