CME/CE for Family Medicine

Upcoming CME/CE Events

Our division’s first CME conference was in 1978 when the world welcomed the first test-tube baby and saw an end to smallpox.

UAMS Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, circa 1978.

In forty-plus years, we’ve considered it our mission to deliver important continuing medical education for family physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals in the region. We focus our content on family medicine, relevant to these practitioners who serve patients ranging from babies to the elderly.

The pandemic forced us to pivot from live conferences to all virtual, but our mission never veered. In fact, the online conferences allowed a wider audience to attend, and nationally known experts spoke to our attendees with just a click of a button. Join us for our next CME/CE event: The Family Medicine Spring Review with Tobacco & Disease Symposium April 25 – 28, 2023.

Virtual Family Medicine Update 2022 Featured 18 Speakers in Four Days
