\"\"A Premier Annual CME Event Continues<\/h3>\n

Last year, by mid-March, 2020, COVID-19 had upended traditional education experiences and this included the annual internal medicine conference, presented by Charlotte AHEC and the UNC Department of Medicine. While most events across the state and nation were immediately cancelled, UNC faculty physicians in the Department quickly converted this annual March program to an online format. In the end, attendees were pleasantly surprised to find the conversion to a webinar was just as good of an option, if not better.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s virtual event promises to be one of the best internal medicine conferences to-date, presented by UNC\u2019s top-ranked specialists. Designed for internists, family physicians, generalists, advanced practice providers and other health care providers working in an adult primary care setting, the conference will provide cutting edge, evidence-based updates on common medical conditions managed by primary care clinicians, including SARS-CoV-2 updates.<\/p>\n

Inviting More Participants<\/h3>\n

As a virtual event, the 45th Annual Internal Medicine Conference will have the capacity to invite a greater number of participants to the program, presented live from the William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education.\u00a0 With representation from every subspecialty in the UNC Department of Medicine, following are a few of this year\u2019s highlights.<\/p>\n
