Please join us for virtual “lunch and learns” on the second Tuesdays of the month from 12-1PM. This new initiative invites providers to present a case study. The goal of this initiative is to identify key concepts and facts related to the case study, explain the rationale behind the chosen interventions or treatments presented in the case, evaluate patient data, synthesize clinical information, and formulate differential diagnoses based on evidence and clinical judgement. By drawing on real-world experiences and knowledge, we may collectively address challenges, share innovative solutions, reduce errors in care, and ultimately, improve patient outcomes.
If you have an interesting case to share, please reach out to Tena Holdaway at tholdaway@fgcu.edu. We are particularly interested in topics that cover day-to-day clinical issues, emerging trends in advanced practice, or innovative approaches to patient care.
Continuing education credits may be offered pending approval.
