Course Description:
The Osler Institute utilized state-of-the-art equipment to record our Live Virtual Webinar March 2023 comprehensive Family Medicine Review Course and bring it to you! These Video files are stored “in the cloud,” so you can stream them anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection, watch or listen to them on your phone, computer, or tablet – your learning experience is almost like being at the live activity but without travel costs and time away from your practice. Included is a downloadable copy of the syllabus that corresponds to the Video lectures for your use while viewing or as a free-standing study or clinical practice guide.
This comprehensive review 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 (EBM) and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts, strategies, and treatments. This online review includes lectures that cover the entire field of Family Medicine, including clinically relevant lectures on Statistics & the basics of EBM, Medical Ethics, and Professionalism, as well as Patient Safety. The live course was run in a rapid-fire format to target a larger percentage of the board and practice-relevant information. It included Q&A examples embedded into each lecture and several Q&A review sessions, all of which were recorded and brought to you. Many of our previous learners found the online course provided them with improved diagnostic and testing strategies, a better understanding of all major disease entities relevant to the general practice of Family Medicine and helped them recognize specific areas of knowledge weakness for further self-study.
