Description
To assist physicians with their ABIM recertification needs, the Cleveland Clinic is offering two ABIM Medical Knowledge Modules in Hospital-Based and Office-Based Internal Medicine.
These modules provide an opportunity to learn, in an interactive environment, from clinical experts who will lead participants through the 50 case-based questions that comprise the two modules. These study sessions offer participants an opportunity to weigh the evidence on a case-by-case basis, discuss the options with expert faculty and ellow participants, and identify the most appropriate answers to the ABIM questions.
Program attendees will actively participate using an audience response system.
