VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive review of the most important advances that have recently been made in Internal Medicine, and to help candidates prepare for the Internal Medicine Boards or the Recertification Examination. Each of the major subspecialties will be covered including cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology, infectious disease, nephrology, neurology, oncology, pulmonary disease, and rheumatology. Much of the material will be presented in lecture format by the best teachers and clinicians from the Columbia University Irving Medical Center. In addition, each specialty will have a case-based question and answer session using an interactive computer-based system.

At the conclusion of the course, participants will be better able to:

1. Discuss the most current, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for key core competency-based topics in medicine. 
2. Apply the latest knowledge & skills to daily practice.
3. Identify recommendations for optimal management of many common diseases.
