Osler Family Medicine 2023 (Videos)

This comprehensive review is designed to help you pass your ABFM exams (initial certification and recertification) and update your clinical knowledge base.  Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine (EBM) and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts, strategies, and treatments.  This review includes lectures that cover the entire field of Family Medicine, including clinically relevant lectures on Statistics & the basics of EBM, Medical Ethics, Professionalism, and Patient Safety.  In addition, the live course was run in a rapid-fire format to target a more significant percentage of the board and practice-relevant information. It includes Q&A examples embedded into each lecture. Many of our previous learners found the online course provided them with improved diagnostic and testing strategies, a better understanding of all major disease entities relevant to the general practice of Family Medicine and helped them recognize specific areas of knowledge weakness for further self-study.
