Arguably, the last of the "core" chronic disease topics this week: Hypertension! The 2015 Canadian Hypertension Education Program (CHEP) has everything you need to know for the exam and for practice; guidelines published alongside the paper are a fairly short and recommended read, or even shorter, their highlights.

Hyperlipidemia
Co-host: Dr. Mike Kirlew
Yet another core Family Medicine topic this week, hyperlipidemia. The best reading you can do for the exam around this topic is to read through Dr. Michael Allan et al.'s recent article in the CFP titled Simplified lipid guidelines: prevention and management of cardiovascular disease in primary care, but of course we'll have a "summary of the summary" up in the study notes very soon!

Fever
Co-host: Dr. Mike Kirlew
This week we talk about fever, which is a super common presenting complaint both in Primary Care and in the Emergency Department. Most of the CCFP exam's focus seems to be on children with fever, but we talk about a few other related conditions as well that can occur in adults.
