4. (RX) Describe & Review the use of local anesthesia, mechanism of action, dosages, precautions and adverse reactions & demonstrate the use of a local anesthetic
5. Describe and review wound closure techniques
6. Describe and review techniques of basic suturing and simple knot tying

1. Participants will have a brief review of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics and their spectrum of activity against bacterial targets. They should leave the session with a better understanding of basic antimicrobial resistance mechanisms expressed by both Gram positive organisms and Gram negative organisms. This review should ultimately enhance the prescriber’s ability and confidence to choose appropriate antibiotic therapy for their patients as well as to help them choose alternative therapies should initial treatment be ineffective. We will also review de-escalation techniques so that the participants can help contribute to antimicrobial stewardship in their regions. (RX)
2. The participants will have a review of common infectious processes which can be seen in any practice setting that they may be called upon to treat in their patient populations. This review should strengthen their ability to appropriately assess, diagnose, and treat infectious problems as they arise in their patients.
3. We will discuss the importance of appropriate and timely infectious disease consultation so the participants will know when and at what time they should consider referral to or consultation from an infectious disease service.

1. Discuss Common Musculoskeletal pathologies and indications for intraarticular and periarticular injections.
2. Explore musculoskeletal anatomy and identify anatomic landmarks necessary to perform successful intraarticular and periarticular injections
3. Identify common intraarticular periarticular injection techniques.
4. List important codes for billing and reimbursement.
5. (RX)Discuss Pharmacological Principles of common injectables including local anesthetics and corticosteroids.
6. Demonstrate proper intraarticular and periarticular injection techniques.

1. Recognize the role of pharmacotherapy in obesity treatment
2. Evaluate evidence-based guidelines for pharmacologic management of chronic disease of obesity
3.Identify available pharmacotherapeutics that can be utilized to support treatment of chronic disease of obesity
