One of the greatest challenges doctors of family medicine encounter in their daily practice is that of coping with the changes in the medical field. If you think about it, the bulk of medical literature family doctors need to scan would be unmanageable, and yet medical information continues to change at an overwhelming rate.

Although some of the principles and concepts in family practice have remained the same for the past decades, other techniques and practices physicians learned during their medical school years have already been outdated as a result of recent findings in research. For this reason, state-of-the-art technologies and medical practice software, and a formal lecture or discussion-type continuing medical education (CME) such as the family practice CME have been introduced to help doctors satisfy their need for information updates and cope with the quantity of changes they face in their practice.

Family practice CME programs have been devised to provide a medium for physicians to maintain and acquire new competence, enhance performance and improve results of patient treatment. They also enable patients to develop a sense of well-being and confidence in the competence of their physicians.

Family practice CME provides physicians with practice environments, access to learning resources, and information on interventions designed to enhance the ability of family medicine practitioners to render effective medical care to their patients. The content of family practice CME comes from generally accepted principles and knowledge in the medical profession. They cover basic services, clinical practice and diagnosis, and delivery of healthcare services to the general public.

Family practitioners can choose from thousands of family practice CME providers across the country. These providers may include medical schools, state medical associations, hospitals, specialty societies, voluntary health agencies and some for-profit organizations. Upon completion of the family practice CME program, doctors will receive a certificate of accreditation.
