MANHATTAN, N.Y. - eTradeWire -- DKBmed, LLC, in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHUSOM), is pleased to announce the launch of the first volume of ePrimaryCare Review®, an educational program addressing key practice and knowledge gaps among primary care clinicians. ePrimaryCare Review is the latest installment of the popular eLiterature Review® series, which consists of a newsletter with expert commentary and literature summaries followed by a case-based podcast applying the newsletter information to clinical practice. Other volumes in the popular eLiterature Review® series focus on specific therapeutic topics including HIV, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, viral hepatitis, and more.

This peer-reviewed activity is designed to improve primary care practice in the prevention and management of commonly seen chronic diseases in topics such as HIV, diabetes and pulmonology.

"Enhancing clinicians' knowledge about HIV screening and PrEP, treatment options in diabetes, and COPD diagnosis and management can truly improve patient outcomes," explained Dean Beals, president and CEO of DKBmed. "The topics covered in ePrimaryCare Review will address these areas to close knowledge gaps."
