CCFP 105 Topics: Periodic Health Assessment Author: Braedon Paul (FM R2, Victoria)
Peer Review: Alysha Thomson (FM R2, Victoria) Audio Production: Braedon Paul BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE FOR PERIODIC EXAM Let's read off those objectives, right up front, so you know what you're getting yourself into: 1. Do a periodic health assessment in a proactive or opportunistic manner (i.e., address health maintenance even when patients present with unrelated concerns). 2. In any given patient, selectively adapt the periodic health examination to that patient's specific circumstances (i.e., adhere to inclusion and exclusion criteria of each manoeuvre/intervention, such as the criteria for mammography and prostate-specific antigen [PSA] testing). 3. In a patient requesting a test (e.g., PSA testing, mammography) that may or may not be recommended:
1. Inform the patient about limitations of the screening test (i.e., sensitivity and specificity).
2. Counsel the patient about the implications of proceeding with the test.
4. Keep up to date with new recommendations for the periodic health examination, and critically evaluate their usefulness and application to your practice.

Written by Sarah Valentine, FM R2 in Victoria, BC Expert Review by Dr Jankowski, Addictions physician in Victoria, BC While this topic doesn't have very many objectives to cover, we're dedicating an entire episode to it given cigarette smoking remains Canada's #1 preventable cause of death and disease (https://www.cmaj.ca/content/197/28/E846). We will also dedicate a little time to the hot button topic that is vaping and review some of the early evidence on health outcomes.
