ForwardUpdate in Internal Medicine 2026 (RP2605A)
The diagnosis and treatment of diseases across the spectrum of internal medicine clinical practice continue to evolve rapidly, with new therapies and standards of care emerging across multiple disciplines. Clinicians who manage patients with varied diseases and comorbidities face ongoing challenges in maintaining current knowledge and integrating advances into clinical practice. The annual Update in Internal Medicine CME Conference is designed to address these challenges by supporting lifelong learning and practice improvement. The 2026 conference will include didactic lectures, panel discussions, and interactive Q&A sessions delivered as a blended learning activity, combining a one-day live, in-person program with pre-recorded, on-demand presentations. The overall goal of this activity is to provide primary care physicians and internists with evidence-based, practical information relevant to common clinical problems, consultation questions, and advances in translational medicine.
