Department of Medicine Continuing Medical Education

Continuing Medical Education and Maintenance of Certification (CME and MOC) courses serve two purposes: to prepare trainees for board examinations and to support the maintenance of current knowledge by experienced faculty. Due to a recent change, the American Board of Internal Medicine has approved many of our courses to also offer MOC points.

Some of the department’s major courses include:

• The Annual Intensive Review of Internal Medicine (IRIM)
• Infectious Disease in Primary Care
• Triennial Brigham Cardiac Valve Symposium
• Annual Update in Gastroenterology
• Annual Office Practice of Primary Care Medicine
• Innovations in Internal Medicine
• Updates in the Management of Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease
• Update in Hospital Medicine
• AIDS Medicine: An Intensive Case-Based Course
• The Program in Palliative Care Education and Practice
• Intensive Review of Nephrology
• Optimizing Transition from Pediatric to Adult Care
• The Brigham Board Review (Distance Learning) Series to prepare for subspecialty board exams (Gastroenterology, Critical Care, Pulmonary, Infectious Diseases, Allergy/Immunology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology, Hematology and Oncology).

In addition, a major textbook is based on the IRIM curriculum, entitled The Brigham Intensive Review of Internal Medicine with Drs. Ajay Singh and Joseph Loscalzo as editors.
