Multiple Small Feedings of the Mind (MSFM)

Faculty provide concise, evidence-based answers to common, yet difficult, patient-management problems. Emphasis is on complex or controversial issues frequently faced by practicing internal medicine physicians.

Case-based Learning (CBL)

These large-group activities typically employ case-based scenarios and real-world clinical examples to best achieve the session objectives.

Clinical Workshops (CW)

Most sessions at the Internal Medicine Meeting are held in large rooms that can accommodate anticipated attendance. However, due to close faculty-learner interaction or hands-on-style education, these small-group workshops have a limited number of seats available. 

Meet the Professor (MTP)

Distinguished faculty analyze controversial issues, recent advances, and new developments in selected topics.

Panels (PN)

Two or more faculty address different aspects of the selected topic or engage in point–counterpoint discussion.
