Dear Colleague,
The world of internal medicine is changing at a faster pace than ever before. The practicing physician
faces ever-increasing challenges to keep abreast with these changes in order to provide state-of-the-art
care for patients. It’s with these challenges in mind that we developed this program to provide you with
updates, advances and best practices to optimize patient care in all areas of medicine.
Our course will cover all the major subspecialties, including cardiology, endocrinology, ENT and
ophthalmology, gastroenterology, hematology, hepatology, infectious diseases, nephrology, neurology,
oncology, pulmonary diseases, psychiatry and rheumatology, and includes a number of special symposia
and keynote lectures on important topics in medicine.
Hot-off-the-press emerging topics will also be addressed, arming you with the latest information.
And to ensure access to CME opportunities during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this program is now
being live streamed providing an opportunity for everyone to attend and eliminating the need to travel.
Our outstanding senior faculty, from one of the premier medical institutions in our country, will cover
these topics through innovative lectures, symposia, live demonstrations, ask-the-experts sessions and
case-based “challenges” using the Audience Response System to anonymously test your knowledge in
the different areas of medicine and compare it with that of your peers.
Whether you are preparing for certification or recertification in internal medicine or planning to attend to
improve your knowledge, we are certain you will find this course most informative and inspiring and you
will come away with new skills and knowledge that will help your patients lead healthier and happier lives.
We hope you will join us in December!
With best wishes,
Sanjiv Chopra, MD, MACP, Martin J. Abrahamson, MD, FACP, and Mark L. Zeidel, MD
