AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (21.25 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (21.25 hours)

The 50th Annual USC Internal Medicine for PCPs & Subspecialists Topics: Rheumatology and Immunology, Hematology, Nutrition, GI/Liver Course is designed especially for internists, family physicians, generalist physicians and allied health professionals who care for adults. This four-day course provides participants with a series of interactive lectures by USC faculty experts spanning a wide array of contemporary and important topics for primary care practitioners and specialists and special, more intimate, roundtables in which participants engage our faculty experts with questions arising from their own practices. 
Lecture presenters use an anonymous electronic audience response system to promote active learning among participants and to enable group reflections on case studies and challenging clinical questions in real time. Participants will be able to attain new and practical knowledge for integration into their clinical practices to improve patient care and patient care outcomes.
