Preventive Medicine and Screening
You'll be able to select and sequence age- and risk-appropriate screening, vaccination, and health maintenance recommendations for adult patients.
What this track covers
This track covers evidence-based preventive care across the primary care visit: cancer screening, cardiovascular risk assessment, adult immunization schedules, and wellness exam structure. It emphasizes matching guidelines to individual patient risk factors and communicating recommendations clearly during shared decision-making.
What you will practice
- Match cancer screening intervals to a patient's age and risk profile
- Interpret cardiovascular risk scores and prioritize lipid or blood pressure management
- Sequence adult immunizations, including catch-up scheduling
- Structure a Medicare wellness visit or periodic health exam
- Frame a screening recommendation for shared decision-making with a hesitant patient
Simulator scenario
A patient presents for an annual wellness visit with overdue cancer screenings and an incomplete vaccination history, requiring the clinician to prioritize and sequence recommendations within a single visit.
Board question topics
- Age-based cancer screening intervals
- Cardiovascular risk stratification
- Adult immunization catch-up scheduling
- Medicare wellness visit components
