Course Overview
Clinicians providing primary care encounter a wide range of medical conditions in their day-to-day practice. It can seem overwhelming to stay current on the evaluation and treatment of such a wide variety of conditions. The University of Kentucky Department of Family and Community Medicine serves the needs of primary care professionals across the country by recognizing the need for high quality life-long learning for inter-professional healthcare providers through continuing education. This Family Medicine Review course is one of the longest running courses in the nation and has gained national recognition. Participants can earn AMA Category 1 Credits and AAFP prescribed credit (determination pending) in one setting.
In the spirit of building patient-focused relationships, it is intended that participants receive the most comprehensive, up-to-date and practical medical information available on a variety of important patient-related topics, the end result being that the knowledge gained by attendance at the conference will improve the health and lives of their patients.
