This comprehensive course is designed to help you pass your ABFM exams (both initial certification and recertification) as well as to update your clinical knowledge base. Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts, strategies, and treatments. The six-day didactic course includes discussions that review the entire field of Family Medicine. The course is run in a rapid-fire format to target a larger percentage of board and practice relevant information. In addition to the lectures, the course includes a searchable e-syllabus with all PowerPoint® presentations, Q&A examples imbedded into each lecture, and several Q&A review sessions. Many of our previous participants found the course provided them with improved diagnostic and testing strategies, a better understanding of all major disease entities pertinent to general practice of Family Medicine, and helped them recognize specific areas of knowledge weakness for further self-study.
