Program Objectives: Understand the impact of needs-based contraceptive counselling algorithms and be able to confidently use these algorithms in routine clinical practice. Describe the step-wise insertion process for IUC. Participants will be able to utilize this knowledge to provide procedural-based counselling to contraceptive patients. Identify suitable patients for IUC and successfully respond to patient questions and concerns regarding the IUC Insertion procedure. Practice IUC insertion skills using demo devices, models and IUC simulator.

Practical MSK Assessment: A Hands-On Workshop - (11:30 am - 02:30 pm)

A practical, primary care focused MSK assessment workshop. You will learn a repeatable approach to evaluating common MSK complaints, with deeper focus on shoulder and hip. The course combines concise teaching with brief hands-on practice to strengthen exam technique, clinical reasoning, and confidence in choosing appropriate imaging and next steps. You will leave with a clear workflow you can use immediately in clinic, from presentation to working diagnosis, imaging decisions, initial management, and safe follow-up or referral. Course outcomes By the end of the course, participants will be able to: Assess common MSK presentations using a consistent, efficient clinical workflow to develop a working diagnosis and identify urgent red flags. Perform focused shoulder and hip examinations that distinguish common primary care patterns and guide management decisions. Choose appropriate imaging and next steps (no imaging vs X-ray vs ultrasound vs MRI, conservative care, follow-up, referral, escalation) based on the clinical question and impact on management.

Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for Nurse Practitioners - (11:30 am - 02:30 pm)

This hands-on workshop introduces nurse practitioners to the fundamentals of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and its applications in diverse clinical practices. Participants will use modern ultrasound equipment to explore machine controls, probes, and scanning modes relevant to NP practice. The session will include guided practice of focused scanning techniques for cardiac, respiratory, and abdominal assessments. Through clinical scenarios created by instructors and hands-on scanning of volunteer subjects, attendees will learn how POCUS can enhance patient assessment and support clinical decision-making. Learning Objectives Identify key ultrasound machine controls, probes, and scanning modesused in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Practice focused ultrasound scanning techniques for cardiac,respiratory, and abdominal assessments using ultrasound equipment. Examine how ultrasound may help in vascular access. Apply POCUS findings to clinical scenarios to support patient assessment and clinical decision-making.

From Perimenopause to Postmenopause: An EMR Tool for Comprehensive Care (11:30 am - 02:30 pm)

Mid-life represents a critical transition in women’s health as they move from perimenopause to postmenopause. During this stage, women experience significant physiological changes that influence metabolism (weight, diabetes risk, loss of muscle mass), cardiovascular risk, bone health, and quality of life, while symptoms that can also significantly affect daily functioning. Despite the complexity of care required, there is a lack of approaches to guide comprehensive assessment and management during this stage. Electronic medical record (EMR) templates can help clinicians provide consistent, comprehensive care by prompting key elements of assessment, treatment, and follow-up. This practical workshop introduces a comprehensive EMR template designed to support nurse practitioners in providing structured, holistic care for women in mid-life. Participants will: Review key components of comprehensive mid-life assessment, including cardiovascular risk, bone health, menopausal symptom evaluation and more. Examine evidence-informed treatment options, including hormone therapy and non-hormonal approaches. Explore the use of a practical EMR template that can be adapted to their existing clinical systems to support efficient and comprehensive care.

Skin and Wound Care Skills Workshop: Lower Limb Assessment & Wound Management - (11:30 am - 06:00 pm)

This Skin and Wound Skills Workshop is focused on strengthening clinicians’ ability to identify, assess, and manage patients at risk for leg and foot complications, including diabetic foot ulcers and preventing lower limb amputations. This session will be delivered in an interactive, hands-on format designed for NPs. Participants rotate through practical skills stations to build competence and confidence in core wound management techniques. The development of these competencies will facilitate reduced incidence of preventable complications, avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, and improve patient outcomes across primary care, community care, and acute care settings.

Joint Injections - (03:00 pm - 06:00 pm)

The joint injection workshop is designed to provide Nurse Practitioners with an understanding of blind injection techniques for the most common joints that can be brought back to practice. Participants will learn about patient selection and assessment, as well as the process of obtaining informed consent and educating patients about the procedure. The workshop will cover the necessary equipment and supplies needed for joint injections. The workshop will focus on the most common joints: the shoulder, knee, finger/thumb and elbow (time permitting). Participants will learn about patient positioning, identifying landmarks, and the proper technique for blind injection in each joint. Emphasis will be placed on skin preparation, local anesthesia, and needle insertion and injection technique. The workshop will also address potential complications that may arise during joint injections and their management. Participants will learn about post-injection care and patient instructions, as well as the importance of follow-up and monitoring. This will be a hands-on workshop so the participant feels comfortable bringing these skills back to their practice. The program will conclude with a recap of key points and a dedicated Q&A session to address participant questions and concerns.

Mastering Foot & Lower Limb Cases in Primary Care: Practical Skills for Nurse Practitioners - (03:00 pm - 06:00 pm)

Join the biomechanics experts from Kintec for a fast-paced, hands-on workshop designed to strengthen your assessment and management of common foot and lower-limb conditions. Through real-world case examples, a live gait analysis demo, and practical clinical takeaways, you’ll learn what to look for in your exam, when to treat in clinic, and when a referral to a biomechanical specialist can make all the difference. We’ll also tackle your most frequently asked questions—from insurance wording and common diagnoses we treat, to pediatric orthotics, early home interventions, and differentiating between C. Ped (C) and DPM referrals. The session wraps with a live Q&A so you can get direct guidance on the challenges you face every day. Walk away with simple tools you can use immediately to improve patient outcomes and clinical confidence.
