There are benefits to the FDI that go beyond formal training.
Participants get to hear how others deal with the same issues they confront on a daily basis.
That kind of experience is invaluable. Our six continuing medical education courses include special courses in office procedural skills, women's health care, and sports medicine, and serve over 700 participants annually. The FDI is designed specifically for current and future faculty interested in improving their basic classroom and clinical teaching, evaluation, and administrative skills. Our educational programs are constantly evolving and improving. As we complete our second decade, elective opportunities for fourth-year students interested in family medicine will be developed, and learning experiences for students across all four years of medical school will be enhanced.
