The "Annual Primary Care Update" is a well-established update that provides physicians and other health professionals with an incredible opportunity to choose from over 20 CME sessions and workshops designed specifically for primary care practitioners serving a diverse patient population. This conference is attended by osteopathic physicians, fellows, residents, interns, medical students, and other health care professionals. Attendees examine the NN/LM Outreach Exhibit with the goal of providing this extremely valuable health information to their diverse user communities, medical practices, and personal lives. This NN/LM Outreach Exhibit will enhance this conference significantly by demonstrating intellectual curiosity, fully integrative exhibitor resources, and detailed health care information.

            Included in this interactive educational NN/LM Outreach Exhibit:

Bibliographic Instruction and Multi-Media Presentation: I'll be demonstrating the NN/LM databases; PubMed; PMC; and MedlinePlus. This exhibit incorporates multimedia elements.

Collaboration: I always offer a guest book sign-in so that attendees feel welcome to share contact information for future events.

NN/LM Exhibit Banner and Table Runner: I promote the NN/LM databases via two additional service points: a table runner with the NLM logo and a scrolling silk banner with the NN/LM logos—both strategically placed in the exhibit area for all attendees to see and remember.

            Additionally, the MedlinePlus Women's Health database; the MedlinePlus Men's Health database; the NIH's Beyond an Apple a Day Guide: Mobile Apps Web Portal (https://nnlm.gov/gmr/guides/beyond-apple-day-guide/mobile-apps); "NIH's Dr. Fauci on the COVID-19 Battle" (MedlinePlus Magazine Cover Story), and the NIH cookbook "Keep the Beat Recipes: Deliciously Healthy Family Meals" will be promoted at this educational exhibit.     

The target populations that will benefit from the funding include: Patients and families; health science and health professionals; nurses, medical students; residents; and retired physicians; educators; and health administrators.  The primary demographic of the targeted populations is: African Americans; Rural; Women; Youth; and Family Medicine—comprehensive health care for people of all ages.

            The following goals will apply to this NN/LM Outreach Exhibit: Increase awareness and proficiency in the use of NLM information resources; partner with organizations to increase awareness and use of freely available authoritative health information; facilitate the acquisition of mobile technologies to assist health professionals in providing services at point of need; assess information needs of populations and communities to enhance the development of relevant community programming; and reduce health disparities among minority, displaced, rural, and other at-risk populations.
