53rd Annual Family Medicine Refresher Course

The purpose of this Refresher Course is to provide practicing family physicians, PAs, and ARNPs a comprehensive overview of clinical issues relevant to contemporary family medicine. Lectures, case presentations, opportunities for questions and answers — all combine to create a fast-moving and useful educational experience. The course should prove especially useful for those preparing themselves for examination by the American Board of Family Medicine.
