The Best CME for Family Physicians
Staying on top of the newest practice recommendations and medical updates is crucial for providing quality health care. But for the working family physician, it can be a challenge to keep current on every single standard and breaking news. Family Medicine Update (FMU) provides the solution: an educational experience where you can learn the cutting edge of actionable practice improvements all in one place.
At FMU, you’ll learn from a panel of expert physician educators across the full breadth of family medicine. Integrate new findings and techniques into your treatment plans, methods that directly lead to better patient outcomes. Explore updated guidelines to ensure compliance and excellence. And prepare for professional growth and career advancements and contribute to positive trends within family medicine.
FMU is available in three formats to best fit with how you learn — an in-person conference, a conference livestream, and online, on demand course.

Why Choose Family Medicine Update CME?
FMU features the latest actionable insights about dozens of family medicine topics from expert speakers. It also includes current clinical guidelines about vaccine schedules, the USPSTF update and more.
While all AAFP CME courses are designed with the day-to-day needs of the family physician in mind, FMU is specifically intended to include practice improvements you can implement the day you next get back to your practice. Every presentation includes key, understandable takeaways.
Which FMU Format is right for you?
There are three FMU formats available to choose from:
- Livestream: The full stream of the in-person conference. Join from wherever you want, with no travel required. Real-time interaction and feedback from faculty is also available.
- Online and on demand: Recordings of the most recent FMU event that can be experienced at your own pace and on your own schedule. Includes bonus content added since the last event.
What should I expect from the FMU livestream?
The FMU livestream will be broadcast live Dec. 9-13. All sessions are presented live, and offer interactive Question and Answer sessions. Ask questions anytime via live chat. Optional clinical procedure workshops are also available, just as they are at the conference.
Additionally, livestream videos are accessible for six months after the event. This makes the livestream a particularly convenient choice for those who need flexibility to step away during part of the event or if your work schedule can change quickly.
What are the benefits of the FMU online course?
The online FMU course is available as a suite of online videos.
