If you haven’t been to an ICIM meeting before, you’re in for a treat! With a supportive family atmosphere, the best food in the industry, and colleagues passionate about science and healing, our learning environment is transformative. Our next meeting is April 18-22 in Cincinnati: “What Works in Clinical Medicine.”
Program Chair Carol Petersen RPh writes, “We are emphasizing the practical. It’s the time for debate, clinical pearls, and camaraderie. Carry home goodies and nuggets for your practice from masters. Nourish yourself with food and fun and time with your colleagues.”
What really shows results in clinical medicine? We will examine the evidence with refreshed rigor and enthusiasm using a new AAFP CME Credit System called Blended Learning. We will engage in a hybrid of activities to put our heads together and move beyond opinion or hyperbole to create an action plan that will change your practice, adding new ideas that work for your patients.
Make your plans to come early! We have six lead-in workshops to choose from.
Make your plans to stay for Sunday! We will be providing a late brunch, and baggage hold for a special focus on opioid use, addiction and prevention from 10 am -1 pm
