 Course overview

Primary care is broad and fast-paced. In a single day, you can move across acute, chronic, and preventive care, often with limited time and incomplete information. The same presenting complaint can be straightforward in one patient and serious in the next. Much of primary care is learning how to sort through that uncertainty and make safe, thoughtful decisions about what matters most.

This course is the resource we wished we’d had. It was built by NPs, with specialist input across the content, for clinicians managing the breadth of primary care and wanting to feel more confident in their clinical thinking. It’s not a wall of facts to memorize, but a practical, consistent way of working through the presentations you encounter in practice.

What makes it different

Module 1 builds the clinical reasoning framework that runs through the entire course: how to frame a problem, build and prioritize a differential, and distinguish the most likely diagnosis from the one you cannot afford to miss. Every module after that puts this approach into practice, condition by condition, so the reasoning becomes more familiar and repeatable.

Every module draws on current Canadian and U.S. guidance. Where recommendations align, you get one clear approach. Where they differ in a way that changes clinical decision-making, both approaches are presented.

Work through it from beginning to end for a comprehensive primary care review, or return to individual topics when a presentation is unfamiliar or you want to check your thinking. For exam preparation, the same approach reinforces the clinical reasoning, red flags, first-line management, and decision points that commonly appear on board and certification exams.

Who it’s for

Whether you’re new to practice, transitioning into primary care, returning after time away, years into practice and looking for a refresher, or preparing for a board or certification exam, this course is designed to meet you where you are.

Learning objectives

By the end of this activity, learners will be able to:

  1. Identify common and complex acute and chronic presentations across the lifespan, including key clinical features, red flags, and risk stratification.

  2. Describe the evidence-based process for formulating focused differential diagnoses and selecting initial investigations based on clinical risk.

  3. Explain first-line non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic management aligned with current clinical guidelines.

  4. Discuss comprehensive management plans, including follow-up, monitoring, and criteria for referral or escalation.
