The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP), in partnership with the Illinois, Indiana, New York, and Wisconsin chapters of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), is excited to announce that registration is open to participate in the virtual Knowledge Self-Assessment (KSA) group study focused on Care of Children scheduled for Sunday, November 1, at 5:30 p.m.
This innovative program will use a robust web-based system that allows 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. This program is limited to the first 45 OAFP members to register and typically takes four hours to complete.
Although live KSA group studies are a popular way of completing the required Family Medicine Certification activity, this program is innovative in developing a virtual learning session and delivering it nationwide to a large group of physician learners at the same time. This cutting-edge program will bring the issues of caring for children directly to the physician’s home or office with guidance from a peer expert and the knowledge sharing that occurs when completing a KSA with fellow family physicians.
A completed KSA will provide participants with 10 certification points towards the ABFM certification requirement. In addition, this activity has been reviewed and approved for up to 8 live Prescribed continuing medical education credits by the American Academy of Family Physicians.
For members, the cost to attend is $85 (ABFM fees still apply). For more information and to register, please visit the OAFP website. The deadline to register is Friday, October 16. Participation is open to the first 45 registrants. Any registrants after the first 45 will be placed on a waiting list. The overall virtual KSA attendance will not exceed 150 participants.
Please contact Director of Foundation & Strategic Programs Kaitlin McGuffie or call 800.742.7327 with questions or for more information.
Don’t forget – this year we are holding an additional virtual KSA group study on Sunday, October 4, focused on hypertension. Visit the OAFP website for registration and additional information.
