Primary Care Medicine Essentials
Join Primary Care Medicine Essentials and we’ll gift you complimentary access to our entire suite of resources geared towards the primary care clinician:
Every week we go live on zoom to answer all your primary care medicine questions. This is also a great way to learn from your colleagues as you learn from their clinical questions. You’ll also get access to the recordings of all past and future workshops.
Once a month we go live for a few hours to discuss updates in the guidelines, deep dives into medicine, and break down more complex case studies to keep your medical knowledge sharp. Join us live and ask your clinical questions! All sessions are recorded in the event you can’t make it.
We have 150+ hours of additional primary care lectures readily available from previous live sessions and workshops. When you join, you’ll get immediate access to every session.
Our 16 hour step-by-step program that shows you how to master the EKG for clinical practice. This the most comprehensive EKG review on the market; created for any clinician (physician, nurse practitioner, and/or physician assistant) needing to reliably read and understand the EKG.

4 hours of training showing how to read the chest x-ray the right way. Taught by Dr. Niket Sonpal and Dr. Luke Husby, board certified in emergency medicine.
4 hours of training looking over the shoulder of Joe Rad PA-C as he shows you how to perform 10 of the most commonly used sutures and knots in practice.
10 hours of in depth training by Dr. Judy Finney, board certified cardiologist explaining the anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and clinical findings of the major heart sounds and murmurs.
6 hours of training detailing how to approach chest pain in primary care and in the emergency department. Led by Katelyn Reeve PA-C, Dr. Luke Husby, and Dr. Niket Sonpal.
We will walk you through four patient case scenarios. They will all start in family practice, where our primary care mentors will work up our patients and share important relevant pearls. As the visit progresses, our patients will need to be sent to the emergency department.
Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through what to look for when thinking about sending a patient to the ER. This is where our emergency medicine mentors will pick up the cases to start their evaluation. Two of these patients will be discharged (we’ll show you what that looks like). But, the other two will decompensate, and will need to be admitted to the ICU. Again, we’ll show you what to look for in the emergency department, when contemplating discharge vs admission.
Our hospitalist mentor will then pick up from here and walk you through every step of the way, including the ICU management. At the end, we’ll share important clinical pearls and learning points, every clinician needs to know.
We’ll walk you through the entire patient journey in 5.5 hours. This is an incredibly unique experience, where we brought three specialties together, to share what the patient journey is like, from start to finish

Primary Care Essentials Curriculum
This is specifically for the practicing clinician (PA or NP) working primary care medicine.
We have three areas of focus:
- Non-clinical (documentation, learning to communicate with patients, preventing mistakes, etc)
- Clinical (diagnosing, workup, management, etc)
- Life as a clinician (increasing confidence, preventing burnout, work-life balance, etc)
It’s only when we address all three that we can truly be fulfilled as a clinician.
There’s a big difference between school and practice. When you were in school, we often spoke about what’s done first, because the order was important.
But, in real life, that’s not always the case. Often times, a multitude of things are done all at once.
On an exam, there is typically one best answer and it must be clear-cut; it must be easy enough to answer the question in 60 seconds. In real life, patients have multiple diseases, which can each cause their own set of symptoms. If you couple that with depression and anxiety, then arriving at a diagnosis starts to become much more of a challenge.
Diseases can be difficult to diagnose and/or differentiate in real life as things aren’t as clear-cut as they were presented in your studies.
This is why we like to shift our focus away from textbook exam-type presentations, and instead focus on real-world clinical scenarios.
We move away from the high-yield medicine model, to tackle real-world situations and the thinking required of a primary care clinician.
The problem is that the stakes are much higher, and as you’ll soon find out, learning on the job without structure can actually slow down your progress.
There’s a lot you don’t think about until you’ve been in the game for a few years. In fact, there’s a lot you don’t even know that you should know…until you’ve been working primary care medicine for years.
It’s because of this, we at Medgeeks collaboratively found a better way to truly master the concepts you’re expected to know as a practicing clinician.
Our structured curriculum will help get you up to speed with the most commonly encountered problems in practice.
This is self-paced so you can go through the program on your time. The curriculum is comprised of 100 hours of training (video, audio, & slides) every primary care medicine clinician needs to know. After completion, you’ll be awarded 50 CAT 1 CME credits that are accepted by AAPA, AANP, and ANCC.

What Clients Are Saying
John C., FNP
“Even my boss gave me credit. I had my evaluation, I think it was my 45 day, and they’re very happy, they haven’t had any complaints. I’ve seen 220 patients. They’ve been very happy with my productivity and my confidence level is so much better. They mentioned Medgeeks in my evaluation, that they were supportive and happy to see my improvement. They gave me credit and I see this as being a real positive for me.”
Alexandra D., NP
“I think having the resources right there, being able to go on the app and do a search is the most helpful. There are a lot of things available but this is focused on primary care and I know I can go there and get the answers I need, so it is a big benefit.
I feel that I have improved a lot. I am more confident in my judgments and I know when to ask questions when I’m not comfortable. I’ve improved a lot from when I started.”
Heather B., PA-C
“I was in a bad space before I started all this. So now I’m leaving on time and I’m closing my charts. It’s been a good feeling. When I leave I can leave work… I know my patients have been taken care of, I documented everything, and I can follow up better with patients when I’m keeping myself organized.”
Alexander Y., NP
“They (the lectures) have been very helpful. The first two weeks changing the mindset was really helpful. It’s really nice to hear from somebody that has experience in primary care, to listen to their thought processes, it’s very helpful. I’m very happy.”
Nicole H., PA-C
“I think it just helps my headspace because being in the program has helped me gauge that… I feel at least mentally in a better headspace and clinically as well, with the additional experience and brushing up with the lectures… I feel at last like I’m above water now.”
Danyelle P., FNP
“The lectures and the learning have been the most helpful, diving into things that were glossed over or I didn’t know enough to keep it in my brain.”
George D., FNP
“I think I’ve been doing really well. Each day’s a new day and I’m learning more and more every day, seeing more patients this week than I did last week and I’m feeling a lot more comfortable. I’m enjoying the course and I love the weekly sessions. It’s a good opportunity to bounce things off people.
I’ve been reading a lot more and trying to get my tool belt filled with all this knowledge from you guys. I’m so glad that I decided to do this because I think it’s really helped me with the transition. I think it’s really important for transition NPs to do something like this.”
Heather L., PA-C
“The mindset stuff was one of the most helpful things. The structured curriculum and touching on all the main primary care medicine aspects was helpful as a new grad as well, but I think the mindset lectures hit home and got me thinking about things I wasn’t before and helped boost confidence. That was huge for me.”
Jorge M., NP
“Access to the videos and being able to replay it when I want to replay it, watch it, listen to it, the flexibility of the format, I like it…My speed has gotten a lot better. Prescribing and treatments of chronic diseases has gotten better…”
Kanani E., PA-C
“It was nice to have those videos ready and I’m trying to watch them on my way to places and if the kids are watching tv while I clean up dinner I’m trying to have the videos on. I will say it’s really cool because I felt like I’ve gained a pearl from each thing I’ve done so that’s really rewarding…”
