A 2-hour intermediate continuing education course for clinicians interested in strengthening their knowledge and skills in the screening examination of the integumentary system. Clinical decision-making concepts and integumentary conditions will be reinforced and applied in a primary care approach to physical therapist examination that can be seamlessly integrated into inpatient, outpatient, and wellness-based physical therapist practices. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Agenda
| 0-15 Minutes | Background, review of learning outcomes |
| 15-30 Minutes | Introduce a case where a patient presents with a health condition that impacts the integument system |

| 45-60 Minutes | Highlight the impact of integument conditions on other body systems, including discussion of prognostic factors that impact wound healing |
| 60-80 Minutes | Matching game: (1) skin conditions to pictures, identifying as normal/abnormal; use of proper terminology to describe and including an emphasis on detecting conditions in both lighter and darker skin tones (2) integument conditions to red/yellow flags and whether local or systemic |
| 80-100 Minutes | Describe screens to identify integument associated conditions requiring further examination, consultation, and/or intervention, practicing collection of subjective data related to the integument system |
| 100-115 Minutes | Watch and discuss a video of a comprehensive integument systems review, using a pneumonic to remember the components (providing a “cheat sheet” with a list and description of normal and abnormal findings) |
