  • Bring your practice in line with current evidence and updated guidelines for ischemic heart disease, vaccinations, sexually transmitted infections, contraception, and stroke prevention
  • Manage problems traditionally treated by specialists and recognize indications for referral for conditions such as heart failure, cirrhosis, advanced lung disease, allergies, common neurologic diagnoses, and side effects of modern cancer therapy
