About North of 44

As Primary Care Providers in the North, we are a distinct group from our Southern Counterparts. The North of 44 Conference was designed to meet the holistic needs of the “generalist” nature of our practices with a respect for the geographic and various service models that make up our region.

We are also hoping to create a “Community of Learning” that includes our NOSM learners, Academic and Community Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and Multidisciplinary Health Professionals. Our opportunity to create a strong network for academic growth will inevitably also create a dynamic and powerful social medical network that will be an essential framework for the integrated medical community of the future.

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

• Discuss updates and common guidelines for dental health, dermatitis, STIs, UTIs, and delirium.
• Identify the best practices for ordering, referring patients, and managing recommendations of podiatry, cardiology, and oncology.
• Discuss subacute hypothyroidism in the elderly, stress dosing for Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, and pituitary abnormalities.
• Develop networking opportunities and a greater appreciation for the exceptional work being done by our colleagues in the North.
