CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME)

 

• • Family Medicine Board Review
    The Family Medicine Comprehensive Review Course - Core Content Course - has been developed to assist individuals who are preparing to sit for the American Board of Family Practice (ABFP) certifying and recertifying examination. We provide the core information that is likely to appear on the test. In addition to a lecture format, there are break-out sessions in the evening to assist your daytime lectures which include computer programs (in the ABFP examination format), X-rays, slides, and color photographs. Pre- and post-examination questions are also included in the course materials.
  • Grand Rounds are scheduled on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. For a current listing of calendar dates and topic areas, click here:
