2025 DPC Summit Agenda

During this 2-hour intense skills workshop, participants will be divided into small groups that will rotate through two stations with hands-on instruction and practice on (1) Venipuncture (Phlebotomy) and (2) IV Placement & Drip. Each participant will be able to practice and observe with immediate feedback from the supervising faculty. Workshop is designed for those looking to enhance their current skills/knowledge and review current practice or looking to acquire new skills.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to use POCUS to evaluate common abdominal-based complaints in the family medicine office.  This includes acquiring and interpreting images of the gallbladder, liver, kidneys, spleen, aorta, and bladder.  Also includes review of images representing key abnormal findings (i.e., cholecystitis, ascites, hydronephrosis, aortic aneurysm, urinary retention).  All levels of POCUS experience are welcome, from beginner to advanced user.

This hands-on workshop will explore best in class diagnostic and treatment techniques for a variety of dermatologic conditions and wounds. Participants will sharpen their dermatological diagnostic skills through dermoscopy practice and elevate your proficiency in subsequent skills such as excision and cryotherapy. Then delve into a dynamic demonstration and hands-n practice covering essential aspects such as wound debridement, biopsies, and mastery of dressing and compression techniques.
