Internal Medicine Boards or the Recertification Examination. The major

gastroenterology, hematology, infectious disease, nephrology, neurology,
oncology, pulmonary disease, and rheumatology. Much of the material will be

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