Family Medicine Update — Edition 6
Online CME
Studies show it can take 10+ years for American physicians to adopt new clinical recommendations. One CME course helps shrink that gap: Family Medicine Update. Optimize the care you and your care team deliver to your patients with Family Medicine Update online CME.
Topics
Family Medicine Update distills the latest evidence-based clinical advancements into practice-ready strategies you can implement into your practice now. Stay compliant with protocols covering the wide range of health conditions you see in practice, including imaging, obstetric care post-Dobbs, ECG interpretation, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, geriatric and end-of-life care, and rashes in children.
New topics in this 39-session course include antibiotic resistance, artificial intelligence, medically induced abortion, and value-based payment.
Format
The on-demand format allows you to start and stop your learning when it’s convenient for your schedule with engaging, interactive learning modules delivered in 30- to 45-minute videos. Easily report your CME at the end of each module.
