2023 Master Clinician Series

Dermatology is considered one of the most difficult specialties. With over 3,200 diseases across the largest organ of the body, it can be a challenge even for the most seasoned expert. Did you know that dermatology conditions make up around 30% of all ICD-10 codes while the derm workforce is only about 1% of all healthcare providers?  Add to the fact that many skin problems may also be multi-layered! It is incumbent for all specialties to have a thorough understanding of the most basic skin issues. Join Victor Czerkasij for a fast-paced “Top New Year’s Dermatology Resolutions” that everyone can get on board with.

Have you ever wondered when to worry about the EKG? It is easy when it says STEMI, but how much should you worry about non-specific ST T wave changes—or inverted T waves?

Diabetes drugs are taking Hollywood by storm.  This includes novel agents like the GLP-1 receptor agonists dulaglutide (Trulicity), semaglutide (Ozempic), and others. There is also the new dual GLP-1/GIP agonist tirzepatide (Mounjaro).  But are these drugs safe?  Are there risks to using in people without diabetes? And is this contributing to shortages for people with diabetes?  This is a “can’t miss” MCS as we learn answers to these questions and all of the practical pearls about these drugs including their safety, dosing, and expected weight loss.  

On this Cinco de Mayo, we’ll celebrate how to avoid having a “party in your pants.” Bleeding, discharge, and pain are the top complaints for women. Many women will resort to Dr. Google searches for answers to their gynecological issues. By the time they get to their appointment, they’ve bought all kinds of online products or home remedies that can make things worse. Learn the tricks of the trade from this WH Ninja in counseling our women to address bleeding, discharge, and pain.

What are the top 5 most common fractures encountered in clinical practice? During this fun 30-minute session, we’ll review the top 5 fractures – from typical presentation to radiographic findings, and finally, initial treatment recommendations. Buckle in as we examine radiographic interpretations and any further imaging that may be indicated. We’ll wrap up (time permitting) with a rapid-fire of clinical X-rays with fractures for identification. Be there or be square!

Healthcare is a bewildering place for the uninitiated and is made worse when presentations are vague, long-term, and seemingly out-of-place. What to do with unexplained itching? What is the first step in a tattoo that is blistering and burning? You thought it was acne but the more you treat it, the worse it gets. That child that seems fatigued and listless with the cherry tongue and low-grade fever: just send them home? How do you respond when your patient wants your opinion on the ‘benefits’ of marijuana? That’s five right there — would you like to hear more? Join Victor Czerkasij for a fast-paced 30-minutes where everyone will find something they can use in their practice that day!
