Procedural & Diagnostic Skills in Family Medicine

Training Overview

Procedural & Diagnostic Skills in Family Medicine is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to enhance the procedural competence, diagnostic accuracy, and clinical confidence of family physicians and primary care professionals. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical instruction with hands-on simulations and case-based learning, focusing on essential diagnostic and minor procedural skills commonly required in family medicine practice.

The course covers core topics including physical examination techniques, point-of-care diagnostics, basic office-based procedures, wound care, suturing, joint injections, electrocardiography interpretation, and common musculoskeletal and dermatological assessments. Emphasis is placed on safe practice, clinical decision-making, and appropriate patient selection.

Through interactive simulation workshops, participants practice a range of diagnostic and procedural interventions in realistic primary care scenarios. Training is delivered under the supervision of experienced family physicians and clinical skills educators, reinforcing technical proficiency, patient safety, and evidence-based practice.

In addition to hands-on simulations, the program includes expert-led discussions on procedural indications, complication management, infection control, ethical considerations, and referral criteria. Case-based sessions address practical challenges encountered in daily family medicine settings.

By the end of the program, participants will have strengthened their ability to confidently perform common procedures and apply diagnostic skills effectively in primary care.
