EM - Interative Teaching Techniques


We are provided time and funding to attend one national regional EM conference of our choice during our second and third year of training, and funding is available during our first year if desired.

In preparation for the ABEM certifying examinations, practice written exams are given every month and oral examinations are given every other month. We also participate in the annual ABEM in-service examination.
