Glad you have a good position, every story about FQHC's on here seem to be a nightmare. Maybe that's for docs and not NP's?
The AI in Uptodate is terrible and more of a glorified search that points you to articles. I've found Doximity/Openevidence better for simply typing in a question (although it doesn't always give the right answer so you kind have to have baseline knowledge beforehand to trust the answer). With that said, it's a good resource and I do look things up from there from time to time.
Telmisartan is the best all around ARB and even in your setting should be covered by most insurances.
Patients with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes etc it's the best. Lowers BP, increases insulin sensitivity and lowers lipids.
For SGLT2i for your diabetic/heart failure/CKD patients, use Bexagliflozin if insurance doesn't cover Farxiga or jardiance. It's $50/month from Cost Plus Drugs.
Read read read read to educate yourself. See a weird presentation? Look it up after your shift. Ask your fellow coworkers for advice. Be an open book.
I’ve got a healthy dose of imposter syndrome and plan on asking all the questions regardless. I’ll be seeing stable chronic patients with common dxs for the most part.
