Exploring the Intersection of Mind and Skin: A Comprehensive Review of Psychodermatology | A Clinical Update on Ulcerative Colitis for Primary Care

Featuring recorded sessions from the 2026 We Are Family (Medicine) conference, the Family Medicine on Demand 2026 course is designed for Physician Associates (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in family medicine, offering essential, evidence-based content to enhance clinical practice. This video-based CME activity offers up to 33.25 credits of AAPA Category 1 CME. Topics address a broad range of primary care priorities, including outpatient coding and billing, cardiovascular conditions such as atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias, pediatric gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune and dermatologic conditions, chronic disease management, preventive care, diagnostic reasoning, and emerging applications of artificial intelligence in healthcare. The course is designed to be flexible and self-paced, with expert-led video content that empowers providers to stay current with best practices, enhance clinical decision-making, and improve patient outcomes across diverse health conditions.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most preventable yet deadly malignancies, and timely screening is central to reducing its burden. This expert‑led program delivers a concise, evidence‑based review of CRC screening, bridging epidemiology and disease biology with guideline‑driven clinical decision‑making. The faculty will examine CRC natural history, progression, and staging to highlight the powerful role of screening in identifying and removing precancerous lesions before cancer develops. Participants will explore current gaps in CRC screening across the United States, with discussion on persistent disparities—particularly among populations served by federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). Emerging incidence and mortality trends will be reviewed, including the concerning rise in CRC among adults younger than 50 years, reinforcing the rationale for initiating screening at age 45 and expanding proactive screening efforts. The program synthesizes national recommendations for CRC screening in average‑risk adults and provides a practical comparison of available screening modalities. Stool‑based and direct‑visualization tests will be discussed in detail, with attention to screening intervals, test performance, patient logistics, follow‑up requirements, and real‑world feasibility. Emphasis will be placed on translating evidence into practice—helping clinicians navigate test selection, address barriers to adherence, and improve screening completion. The session will conclude with actionable strategies to individualize CRC screening based on patient risk factors, preferences, and access considerations, empowering clinicians to deliver patient‑centered preventive care and improve screening uptake and outcomes.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality, yet screening rates remain suboptimal—particularly among medically underserved populations. This evidence‑based educational program provides a practical, systems‑focused roadmap for improving CRC screening across diverse clinical settings, including federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). Drawing from real‑world quality improvement (QI) initiatives and national guidelines, participants will explore proven strategies to increase screening uptake, reduce disparities, and strengthen follow‑through on abnormal results. The program reviews key barriers to CRC screening at the patient, provider, system, and social determinant levels and highlights effective, scalable interventions endorsed by the CDC Community Preventive Services Task Force. Participants will learn how to implement and optimize evidence‑based interventions, such as provider assessment and feedback, provider and patient reminder systems, reduction of structural barriers, and the use of patient navigators. Emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary, team‑based approaches; intelligent use of EHR; and patient‑centered communication strategies, including shared decision‑making and tailored education. Through applied examples, impact‑effort prioritization tools, and best‑practice workflows, this session equips participants with actionable strategies to sustainably improve CRC screening rates within their own clinical settings and patient populations.

Adverse events, near misses, and medical errors are occupational hazards that contribute to burnout. Join us as we discuss research surrounding the PA and APRN experience after an adverse event and learn about how we can support each other after such an event.

Female Chronic Pelvic Pain: From Trauma-Informed Assessment to Evidence-Based Treatment | Managing the Wait: A Practical Guide to Diagnosis and Management of Common Endocrine Conditions

In this episode, we sit down with the board of PAs in Obesity Medicine (PAOM) for a candid, practice-focused conversation on elevating obesity care in primary care. From reframing obesity as a chronic disease to integrating evidence-based treatments into busy clinics, our guests share real-world insights, clinical pearls, and strategies PAs can use today. Whether you’re new to obesity medicine or looking to deepen your impact, this episode offers a forward-looking look at how PAs are leading the future of comprehensive, compassionate obesity care.
