T he 2020 UAFP CME & Ski Conference held at the Westgate Resort in Park City, Utah, was the most successful yet! We had over 100 people attend from 25 different states, including family doctors, nurse practitioners, residents and medical stu- dents. Attendees spent early mornings and late afternoons in the classroom but enjoyed a four-hour break in the mid - dle of the day to enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and the many other winter activities Park City has to offer. We are incredibly fortunate in Utah to have an abundance of talented and knowledgeable physicians willing to pre - sent evidence-based and topical CMEs to our attendees. Those in attendance this year engaged in CME topics such as Screening and Treating Alcohol Use Disorders in Primary Care, Implicit Bias: Building a Culture of Inclusion, Fibromy - algia Treatment Updates, Asthma and COPD Pharmaco - therapy, LGBT Health Topics, and Recent Advances in the Management of Hyperkalemia. We want to extend our thanks to all of our incredible speakers this year. They include Steven Call, M.D.; Matthew Clayton, D.O., Paula Cook, M.D., DFASAM; Emily Hagn, M.D.; Jordan Knox, M.D., CAQSM; Michael Magill, M.D.; Bruce McGee, M.D.; Nick Monson, D.O.; Teshamae Monteith, M.D., FAHS; Hanna Raber, PharmdD, BCPS, BCACP; Ted Paisley, M.D.; Biff Palmer, M.D.; Tricia Petzold, M.D.; Joel Porter, M.D., FAAFP; Rohn Rigby, M.D.; Erika Sullivan, M.D., M.S., M.S.; Gabriela Vargas, M.D., M.S., FACS, and our KSA present - ers Nikki Clark, M.D., FAAFP; Sarah Daly, D.O., FAAFP, and Michael Rhodes, M.D. The conference would not be possible without our spon - sors! Tremendous thanks to our PLATINUM sponsors, University of Utah Health and Utah Department of Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health; GOLD spon - sor, LiveCare; and SILVER sponsor, Molina Healthcare; and to all our exhibitors who attended this year’s conference! UAFP is moving forward with planning for the CME & Ski conference, but we also recognize that there is still consid - erable uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic. Our staff and planning committee will continue to explore op - tions to provide valuable CME to our members and other medical professionals around the country. Whether we can see everyone in person in February 2021, or we offer top- quality education virtually, UAFP will strive to provide the services and support our members need most during this uncertain time. photo credit to April Gordon UAFP’s Fifth Annual CME & Ski www.UtahAFP.org | 12
