4369.0 Medical Care Section: Student Paper Award Session

Tuesday, November 9, 2010: 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Oral
The session features selected student papers that cover health care disparities. Participants will understand more about access to both preventive services and highly technical treatment availability. Access to medications may be easier for those over 65 but understanding Medicare Part D can be difficult. Details regarding asthma medication and other chronic medications will be discussed for this group. A particularly interesting paper on the actual practice of physicians in training will raise questions about the future quality of primary care. These papers are provocative and will prepare the audience to be more detailed and critical in examining the real world of patient experiences with the health care system.
Session Objectives: 1. Analyze reasons for racial disparities in preventive health care, asthma treatment and transplantation medicine. 2. Explain the impact of Medicare on access to medications 3. Evaluate the skill set of primary care physicians in training to obtain important information during the initial history and physical exam.
