CME: Making Sense of Dizziness: A Practical Approach to Assessment and Management for Primary Care
October 15 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Don’t forget to RSVP for our latest in-person CME session!
This session is aimed to help PCPs gain confidence in assessing patients with dizziness in both the acute and outpatient settings. Diagnoses will be explored based on review of history, namely the timeline and quality of symptoms and diagnostic confidence will be enhanced by reviewing high yield and accessible bedside clinical assessment. Initial treatment strategies for common causes of vertigo will be reviewed with learners being directed to appropriate Pathways resources to help with practical application of covered topics.
Learning Objectives:
- Elucidate a differential diagnosis for vertigo based on timeline of symptoms.
- Identify the features in a dizzy patient that can suggest a diagnosis of migraine-related dizziness
- List 3 or more medications in your dizziness management toolbox and understand their indications
