October 22 - 25, 2026 - Internet Live Activity - Sedona, Arizona
Broadcast in Mountain time
This annual, four-day course provides primary care practitioners a practical update on topics within the realm of internal medicine and its subspecialties with emphasis on equipping participants with information they can readily incorporate into their practice to improve quality of care and patient outcomes. The popularity of this course is in large part due to the variety of topics presented, many of which are derived from prior participant suggestions, recent advances in medicine and paradigm shifts in medicine. This course also devotes ample time to questions from the audience. ABIM MOC is offered for this activity.
This course has two sessions: October 8-11 and October 22-25, 2026. While the same 30-minute presentation topics are included for both sessions, the faculty and order of presentations may vary. In addition to the didactic format for lectures, the program includes two daily question-and-answer sessions; and audience participation is encouraged through the use of Vevox.
