ESSENTIAL EVIDENCE CME PROGRAM

ALL DAY FRIDAY 7/19

“I love the Essential Evidence format - this is so relevant for family medicine really covering what I do every day and focused on benefits for patients.” - Past Annual Convention Attendee

The Essential Evidence program is a unique CME course that uses abstracts of recent literature as the substrate. Each 30-minute talk is a rapid fire review of recent research studies about a particular topic with time for Q&A at the end of each presentation.

The faculty will provide an engaging analysis of the most important research publications. They will present and critically appraise new research evidence and meta-analyses that will either change your practice or confirm that your current approaches are supported by solid evidence from randomized trials and other high quality studies.

In 2024 we will welcome Henry Barry, MD; Mark Ebell, MD; and Gary Ferenchick, MD, who will cover these topics:

  • Dementia
  • Care of the Patient with Cancer
  • Musculoskeletal Update
  • Screening and Prevention
  • Acute Respiratory Infections
  • Evaluating the Patient with Chest Pain
  • Atrial fibrillation/anticoagulation
  • Lipids
  • Type 2 Diabetes
