60th Annual Scientific Assembly – Final Program | 3

On behalf of the Alberta College of Family Physicians and the ASA Planning Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 60th ASA.

We are excited to celebrate the 60th Anniversaries of the Annual Scientific Assembly and the Alberta College of Family Physicians. Also very noteworthy is the Patient’s Medical Home (PMH) theme of the 60th ASA. The ACFP began work towards PMH by hosting the 2011 PMH Leadership Forum in Edmonton. The work to actualize this vision continues at the 60th ASA with several PMH keynote and workshop sessions scheduled for presentation.

We thank all the speakers who have taken time away from their busy schedules to share their ideas and best practices at our conference. We would also like to thank the exhibitors and sponsors for their support. Please support them by taking some time to visit the displays in Salon C and other designated areas of the hotel.

In addition to the stellar lineup of keynotes and workshops, we’re also proud of the record number of research Posters and Presentations at the 60th ASA. Be sure to participate in the ASA Wrap-Up Pearls plenary (Page 11) and the ACFP’s Living History project (Page 16) which are also new this year. We encourage you to relax and have some fun by attending the events and activities noted in the ASA After Hours section of this program (Page 6).

New this year is a pilot schedule for Saturday, where you will notice shorter break times throughout the day. Please be sure to let us know your preference on the ASA evaluation form included in your totebag.

Finally and most importantly, we thank you for supporting this valuable primary care CPD conference, and extend our best wishes for a successful 60th ASA!

Brad Bahler, MD, CCFP, Sylvan LakeChair, 60th ASA Planning Committee

On behalf of the Alberta College of Family Physicians Board and Executive, welcome to the 60th ASA!

A few months after the formation of the Alberta Division of the College of General Practice of Canada in 1954, Alberta’s first Scientific Session took place in Red Deer, with a handful of attendees. Sixty years later in 2015, the ASA has grown to accommodate 350+ delegates, and offers a variety of learning opportunities in 55 keynote, workshop, skill sessions, Mainpro-C programs and Ancillary Sessions.

Alberta’s ASA maintains its reputation of excellence in the hand-picked, unique selection of programs presented in a smaller, intimate setting. Our ASA continues to attract

attendees not only from Alberta, but also from across the nation and the United States. I commend the ASA Planning Committee for their skill in choosing sessions that provide practical information on timely, relevant topics by expert presenters, and which our attendees find so valuable and useful.

Please be sure to participate in all the experiences the 60th ASA has to offer. Thank you for attending, and we hope to see you again at future ASAs!

Pat Smith, MD, BSc, LMCC, CCFP President Alberta College of Family Physicians

WELCOME TO THE 60TH ASA!

WELCOME FROM THE ACFP PRESIDENT

4 | 60th Annual Scientific Assembly – Final Program

ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC ASSEMBLY PHILOSOPHY & OBJECTIVESThe Annual Scientific Assembly is a conference dedicated to the primary care physician. The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program is filled with a mix of keynote and workshop sessions and provides an opportunity to earn Mainpro-M1 and Mainpro-C credits.

The objectives of the ASA are:

• To provide an update and review about the management of a wide variety of therapeutic areas seen in family medicine.

• To impart management advice about conditions frequently encountered in practice in urban settings with specialist backup, as well as in rural settings in which limited resources and services are available.

• To develop assessment skills to determine which patients can be managed by their family physicians, and which patients should be referred to another member of the health care team.

• To provide a forum for the exchange of information and an opportunity for physicians to develop informal and formal networks with their colleagues.

• To develop an understanding of how family medicine and family physicians play an integral role in the health care system.

• To equip family physicians with the knowledge they need to succeed, and to pass this knowledge on to other physicians and patients through teaching and research.

ASA AttendanceIn keeping with ASA guidelines, attendance at the ACFP’s ASA is limited to family physicians, family medicine residents and medical students only. Adopted and supported by the ACFP’s Board and Executive in 2011, this guideline fosters a trusting and collegial learning environment for family physician-specific continuing professional development.

REIMBURSEMENT& ACCREDITATIONReimbursementThis event is eligible for reimbursement under the Alberta Medical Association’s (AMA) Continuing Medical Education (CME) reimbursement program. If you are an AMA member, and provided you haven’t already used your annual CME allotment for other events, you may submit a claim to the AMA for registration fees and expenses.

AccreditationThis program has been accredited by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Alberta Chapter for up to 16.5 Mainpro-M1 credits. You will receive email confirmation of credits earned following the conference.

ASA Accredited Program – Conflict (s) of Interest DisclosureIt is the policy of the ACFP to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all its accredited educational programs. Speakers and planning committee members participating in ACFP accredited programs are required to disclose to the program audience any real or apparent conflict(s) of interest that may have a direct bearing on the subject matter of the continuing education program. This pertains to relationships within the last TWO (2) years with pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, or communication organizations whose products or services are related to the subject matter of the presentation topic. The intent of this policy is not to prevent a speaker with a potential conflict of interest from making a presentation, but intended that any potential conflict(s) should be identified openly, so that the listeners may form their own judgments about the presentation with the full disclosure of facts. It remains for the audience to determine whether the speaker’s outside interests may reflect a possible bias in either the exposition or the conclusions presented. See page 24 for ASA Planning Committee and speaker disclosures.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 13:30-14:15Meaningful Accountability of PhysiciansLouis Hugo Francescutti, Edmonton, ABThe medical profession is at a crossroad. It must regain the trust of the public or society will rewrite its social contract with the profession. Meaningful accountability of our profession is one way forward.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 08:00 – 08:45Continuity of Patient Care: Greg’s Story (PMH)Ward Flemons, MD, FRCPC, Calgary, ABGreg Price was 31 years old when he died from complications of metastatic testicular cancer. His journey through Alberta’s healthcare system was marked by multiple breaks in his continuity of care as well as delayed and missed diagnoses. This presentation will:

• Define Continuity of Patient Care• Describe barriers to Continuity of Patient Care when patients are

referred for specialized healthcare services• Justify the need for a single electronic medical record across a

provincial healthcare system• Develop strategies for supporting patients continuity of care when

they are referred outside of the medical home

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 13:30 – 14:15The Trauma Pill: Can the Reconsolidation Blocker Propranolol be Used to Treat PTSD?Alain Brunet, PhD, Montreal, QCAlthough effective treatments for PTSD exist, currently used pharmacotherapies and psychotherapies have substantial relapse rates. In this session, attendees will discover some of the unmet challenges in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder; understand the basic tenets of reconsolidation theory; develop an understanding of how reconsolidation impairment can be used clinically.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 08:15 – 09:00Caring for Body and Soul: Life Journeys for Family PhysiciansKaren Trollope-Kumar, BSc, MD, PhD, CCFP, Hamilton, ONThis keynote presentation will highlight the various dimensions of physician wellness, explore factors leading to physician burnout, review research findings regarding physician resilience, deepen the concept of physician wellness to incorporate a sense of meaning and purpose, and engage family physicians in a process of self-reflection about wellness

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 09:00 – 09:45Mainpro+ - Changes as of 2015Khurram Jahangir, BSc(Hons), MBChB, CCFP(EM), MRCGP, MFSEM, DRCOG, DFFP, Edmonton, AB & John Chmelicek, MD, CCFP, FAAFP, FAWM, Edmonton, ABMainpro+ - changes/enhancements have been made to the CFPC’s current Mainpro system. The world of CPD is changing. The current system does not sufficiently encourage and reward CPD activities that are most effective and impactful. These changes are substantial and will take effect July 2015. CFPC members and Mainpro participants need to be well informed in order to adapt to the changes.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 13:15 – 14:00Simple, Practical and Evidence-based Primary Care Lipid/CVD Management: A Triple WinMike Allan, MD, CCFP, Edmonton, AB & Tina Korownyk, MD, CCFP, Edmonton, AB & Mike Kolber, MD, CCFP, Edmonton, AB & Adrienne Lindblad, BSP, ACPR, PharmD, Red Deer, ABIn this session, we will review the evidence from managing cardiovascular risk in patients without a history of cardiovascular disease (~90% of our patients). Our focus will be lipid management, from screening to the elderly and we will review what the studies have shown regarding different treatments. We will also sprinkle in some discussion of other measures, like ASA. We will end the session with a simplified, practical, and evidence-based approach that will lessen your work, enhance patient participation, and reduce risk in those who need it most.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 16:15 – 17:0060th ASA Wrap-Up Pearls Marc Klasa, MD, CCFP, Calgary, AB & Brad Bahler, MD, CCFP, Sylvan Lake, ABThis unique wrap-up presentation will highlight a collection of learning pearls to further share knowledge and best practices from programs offered at the 60th ASA.

60th ASA Wrap-Up PearlsNew to the ASA is the final workshop of the conference: 60th ASA Wrap-Up Pearls.

Deprescribing – Reducing Medications Without Tension to the GuidelinesBritt Simmons, MD, CCFP, Calgary, ABThere are now clinical practice guidelines for treatment of most conditions. Since many geriatric patients have multiple comorbidities, they may be subject to several of these guidelines, often each with recommendations for several medications. Is there evidence that these guidelines have pertinence for geriatric patients? How do we know that the medications we’re prescribing are important and have value for our patients? How do we identify risks and if side effects are occurring, what do we reduce? We will explore these issues in a practical discussion which would impact quality of care for geriatric patients.

Teaching Office Procedures: What You Should KnowJuan Antonio Garcia-Rodriguez, MD, MSc (Med Edu), CCFP, Dip Sports Med, Calgary, ABThis session will describe the dynamics of procedural teaching and review methods for effective skills instruction. Specific steps will be addressed in order to accomplish effective training. The workshop will end with a short exercise to identify personal teaching trends and possible areas of improvement.

The concepts of lifelong learning, clinical governance and re-certification are at the forefront of this change. Personal Learning Plans (PLPs) are designed to help an individual identify their learning needs through self reflection and by setting their own educational agenda. It is an opportunity for Physicians to be accredited for the learning that arises naturally from their workplace and to choose educational activities that reflect their needs and learning styles. The idea is to help us do what we have always wanted to do i.e. learn efficiently and effectively, identify our weaknesses before they become problems and increase our personal competence. In this workshop, I will present the approach to designing your PLP and how to incorporate the CanMEDS-FM roles into it, fulfilling the requirements as envisioned under the new Mainpro+ program.

SKILL SESSION

14:10 – 16:00 & 15:15 – 16:00It’s Overgrown Toeskin NOT Ingrown ToenailHenry Chapeskie, MD, CCFP, FCFP, Thorndale, ONThis is an innovative approach to an old problem. The term “ingrown toenail” incriminates the nail as the causative factor; however, there is excellent evidence-based research demonstrating that there is no nail abnormality and that the problem is due to an excessive amount of soft tissue. Removal of this tissue results in less bulging over the nail with weight bearing and eliminates the problem. The nail is not touched! The result is cosmetically excellent and the problem will never recur.

Treating chronic pain, our shared responsibility.

As one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in Canada, Purdue Pharma is dedicated to ongoing research and development in the field of drug delivery and the use of pain medications. However, we also recognize that prescription drug abuse is a public health issue. A recent survey conducted by CAMH showed that 81% of students who use medicines non-medically obtain them from family or friends.1 Purdue Pharma, together with health authorities and the medical community, is actively working to reverse this trend so that the right medications get to the right patients.

Through our educational programs and strong community partnerships, we are confident that we can continue to make great strides in addressing the use, abuse and diversion of pain medications.

For more information on our products and our role within the community, please contact your Purdue Health Solutions Manager or visit www.purdue.ca.
