GENERAL INFORMATION

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This two day course is designed to present an intensive review for family physicians who are either preparing for the re-certification examination of the American Board of Family Medicine, or desire to keep abreast of some of the changing concepts in practice. Emphasis will be placed on topics important to the family physician. An evidence based approach will be used.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

• Present a comprehensive review of clinical topics.
• Address newer evidence based approaches to patient care and current medical management.
• Emphasize frequently encountered problems seen in day to day practice.

WORKSHOPS
Group workshops are designed to present caveats of patient care on timely medical topics. Faculty presenters have been selected for their clinical experience on these topics. 

KSA WORKSHOPS

What is a KSA Working Group?

Physicians who have entered the ABFM Maintenance of Certification cycle come together to complete the knowledge assessment section for the MC-FP KSA requirement (Part II). After completing the session, AAFP staff report your answers to the ABFM. Your next step is to go to the ABFM Web site, pay the necessary fees, and complete the clinical simulation section. The clinical simulation section presents patient care scenarios corresponding to the topic module. Once you have completed these steps, you have completed Part II of the MC-CP. Eight (8) CME credits are awarded for successfully completing each Part II Module. Once you have completed the clinical simulation, the ABFM reports your credit to the AAFP’s Continuing Medical Education Records Department. Not all questions will be discussed and attendees will still need to go online to get the additional 8 hours of credit.
