Practical and Progressive Updates in Primary Care Medicine 2021

Thursday, April 15, 2021, 12:00 AM - Monday, May 3, 2021, 11:59 PM EST, Internet, Online, MI

Join us for the VIRTUAL 2021 Practical and Progressive Updates in Primary Care Medicine!  To ensure the safety of our participants during the continued COVID-19 emergency, this year's conference has shifted to an entirely VIRTUAL, ON DEMAND event allowing providers to create a flexible CME experience that works best with your needs and schedule.   This unique format lets you participate in pre-recorded lectures at your convenience through May 3, 2021.  Simply log in and participate from your home, office, or anywhere you are.

Participant feedback from our latest virtual on-demand conference:
•“This was the best organized and technically easy to use program I have attended.”
•“The convenience of watching lectures when I had an hour or two to spare was very helpful to me to fit in this CME.”
•“Excellent virtual platform! Hands down the most easy to use one I have navigated so far. Instructions were very precise and clear. Wish they were all like this!”
•“Compared to other virtual conferences I’ve participated in, I think the platform used here was very good and user friendly.  I especially appreciated being able to view the videos over a few weeks span of time.  It made it much easier to fit into my schedule.”
•“Would highly recommend virtual symposiums in the future!  Provides time to listen to lectures on your own schedule, pause or replay video to facilitate understanding/review slides and note taking is much easier.”
