I'm certainly not criticizing you or your program, I hear/pay attention to only good things about it. However, as far as CE is concerned, we all need to consider doing more things that will add to the knowledge base - Lab Values, Advanced Practitioner Physical Exam, SLAM stuff, etc. Just a thought.... which is one of the three advantages of CALS...they do cover extra stuff, including some of the stuff in a wet lab that SLAM covers, they do emphasis team work, and they manage to do it in about three and a half days, including the wet lab... Leaving more time to do other things to extend your knowlege. S. Krin, DO FAAFP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
