Enhance Your Educational Experience

Follow your patients with a "card study":
With the guidance of the course director, you will identify 4-6 patients meeting the criteria for intervention; specific patient information will be collected on the cards; cards will be stored within your office; at three months post-intervention, updated patient information will be reviewed, and reported. Additional CME credits provided.

Create a Performance Improvement component:
This component will require chart reviews of 10 randomly selected patients; the development and implementation of an action plan; and a follow-up chart review after three months. Performance Improvement CME credits available.
