Precisely the conference you asked for.

After teaching thousands of residents at The Review Course,  we were repeatedly asked, "Please make a conference for Family Physicians." It was such a huge hit in 2020 & 2021, we're doing it again.

Why attend hour-long conference talks that each only cover one topic?

Your clinic day involves dozens of patient topics. The Vital FM Update covers more than The 105 Topics that you need to know for Family Medicine.

Covering The 105 Topics (formerly The 99 Topics) in two days. That's right, two days.

Is this even possible? You bet. In fact, we've been doing it for years at The Review Course. By focusing on the need-to-know content, and essential evidence updates, we cover them all. See how we do it
