IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive review of the most significant advances that have recently been made in Internal Medicine and to help candidates prepare for the Internal Medicine Boards or the Recertification Examination. The major subspecialties will include 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. This system will allow you (anonymously) to test your knowledge in the different areas of medicine.

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.
