ForwardUpdate in Internal Medicine 2025 (RP2505A)
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The knowledge and treatment of various disease states in internal medicine is expanding at a fast pace. Every year, new therapies are being developed, and new standards of care are employed across the spectrum of internal medicine. The busy primary care physician and internist, since they treat patients with varied diseases and comorbidities, are faced with the growing challenge of keeping abreast of the latest advances. The annual Update in Internal Medicine CME Conference seeks to assist clinicians in meeting this challenge. Our 2025 conference will feature didactic lectures, panel discussion, and interactive Q&A sessions, presented as a hybrid learning approach, offering the combination of a one-day live in-person presentation and pre-recorded on-demand presentations. The overall goal is to provide primary care physicians and internists with state-of-the-art practical advice on issues identified as frequent items for consultation and second opinions, as well as new advances in applying new scientific techniques and technologies in translational medicine.
