The Maryland Academy of Family Physicians, in partnership with the Ohio chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP), is excited to announce two virtual, American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM)-endorsed Family Medicine Certification knowledge self-assesment (KSA) group studies this year.
This innovative program will use a robust web-based system that will allow family physician learners from across the country the opportunity to complete the KSA while engaging their peers and an expert content leader from a location of their choosing.
These virtual learning sessions offer an innovative method for delivering a KSA nationwide to a large group of physician learners at the same time. Completion of each KSA will provide participants with 10 certification points towards their ABFM certification requirement. In addition, these activities have been reviewed and are acceptable for up to 8 live Prescribed continuing medical education credits by the American Academy of Family Physicians.
The newly revised Hypertension ABFM-developed KSA activity focuses on diagnosis and risk stratification of a hypertensive patient, recognizing and managing hypertensive crisis and secondary causes of hypertension, managing hypertensive patients with both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods, managing hypertensive patients with comorbid illness, and consideration of hypertension evaluation and management in special population.
Registrations are closed!
Our main goal is to pass the exam, with an expert speaker offering assistance when questions arise.
First, questions will be displayed giving participants approximately 30 seconds to respond (time varies based on speed of participant response).
Next, results will be displayed and discussed.
Finally, answers will be submitted as a group and individuals will be credited for completion of the knowledge self-assessment, once evaluations have been submitted.
