Provider Skills and Procedures Workshop - Online Recordings
OVERVIEW
Performing necessary procedures at the time when a patient requires intervention is critical for advanced practice providers. This online course is an easily accessible training opportunity to learn eight common procedures routinely needed by clinicians to provide proper care for patients.
Course faculty are advanced practice providers – PAs, DNPs, LPCs, and MDs - who are content experts in their respective practice focus areas. With an interdisciplinary approach across specialties, course content is applicable to most practice settings and applies primarily to primary care, urgent care, and emergency medicine practice settings.
NEW - ONLINE RECORDINGS
We are moving our lecture-based sessions to an online format.

PRACTICE GAPS AND NEEDS
After initial education and training, the transition-to-practice gap for advance practice providers (APPs) include a variety of procedures commonly needed by patients. Traditionally, APPs need to rely on finding a provider who has privileges in their specialty to teach them new skills. Even when an expert provider is available, learning opportunities are limited by busy clinic schedules, coordinating clinic days, the procedures that patients need, and/or having the resources and time to attend a regional or national conference where these skills are taught.
Some experienced providers may lack confidence in performing specific procedures they haven't recently performed and need to refresh their knowledge and skills.
Not being able to provide procedures at the time a patient requires intervention limits access, creates barriers, and could lead to delay in patient care. Providers need access to adequate training to offer these procedures.
This workshop meets the need for further training for commonly performed procedures, in an accessible on-line format.
ELEMENTS OF COMPETENCE
This CE activity has been designed to change learner competence and performance and focuses on the American Board of Medical Specialties' areas of patient care and procedural skills, practice based learning and improvement, medical knowledge, the Institute of Medicine areas of patient-centered care and evidence based medicine, and the Interprofessional and Nursing areas of roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication, and teams/teamwork.
Intended Audience
This workshop is intended for advance practice registered nurses, physician assistants, and physicians in ambulatory and/or acute care settings.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the workshop learners will be able to:
- Identify indications and contraindications for commonly performed office and bedside procedures
- Explain current interventions and tools for treatment of specified conditions/diseases/screening
- Perform common procedures carried out in office and bedside settings
- Incorporate telehealth exam skills within their practice
Agenda
Online recordings - Available from September 11, 2020 (2 p.m.) through September 10, 2020 (11:59 p.m.).
Recorded sessions are appropriate for ambulatory and acute care practices.
