Being board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) demonstrates your commitment to an ongoing process of keeping up-to-date and striving to deliver the best care possible to your patients and your community. Your certification means a lot! However, sometimes navigating through the Family Medicine Certification process to organize stage requirements can get a tad confusing, especially if you are doing it on your own for the first time. We understand and the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) is here for you!
Join a panel of expert speakers from the ABFM and the OAFP on Tuesday, May 11, at 7 p.m. for the valuable, FREE webinar ABFM Certification after Residency: What Does it Look Like?
- Understand the purpose of certification and its impact on patient care
- Describe the stages in the certification process and activities within each
- Explain the differences between the Family Medicine Certification Longitudinal Assessment and the one-day exam
- Understand the importance of integrating activities into the work already being done in practice that impact patient care
- Discuss the best ways to review current processes and find a certification activity to fill gaps in patient care
- Understand the importance of mapping out certification requirements in order to have the most positive impact on patient care possible
- Discuss things to keep in mind when transitioning from residency to active practice.
Outside of these valuable learning objectives, additional hot topics our panelists will be sure to cover include sharing how to lower perceived anxiety around completing a quality improvement project, offering tips on keeping everything organized, and providing lessons learned from those a few years into the process.
