Primary Care Network
Founded in 1997 by Roger Cady, MD, our sole mission is to create cutting-edge medical education for physicians and other healthcare clinicians dedicated to expanding knowledge and improving the focus of their patients’ healthcare needs. Our team of physicians and other professionals, along with renowned faculty, presents effective, patient-centered education. We work hard to provide the latest emerging science in medical technologies and advancements. Our education, whether live or various enduring materials, provides the tools to optimize patients’ care. As a not-for-profit, private foundation, we offer education at little or no cost to you. We invite you to join the Primary Care Network family, which currently has over 90,000 clinicians.

Primary Care Network is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for clinicians. Our programs may also be accredited from the AAFP and AANP.
Primary Care Network offers CME activities in a wide variety of therapeutic areas that are presented in many educational formats. In addition, PCN has conducted symposia programs at national specialty meetings such as the American Headache Society, National Headache Foundation, and the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians. We provide accredited education via our website and other multi-media formats like our quarterly eNewletter, Primary Issues™.
Your education comes first at PCN. We are diligent to ensure that balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor is in all our education. We use a detailed analysis to ensure that the needs assessment focuses on the needs of primary care clinicians like you to help improve your patients’ outcomes. Most importantly, we strive to provide you with tools that you can bring to your office and your patients right after our education, and utilize them to have positive results with your patients.
