Education opportunities for professionals
The Introduction to The Practice of Medicine is an online lecture series housed on the Center for Continuing Medical Education (CCME) website. The lecture series was designed to increase the exposure of housestaff to non-traditional curricular topics mandated by the ACGME. Residents are required to complete 10 modules throughout the course of their training program and must sign up for an account on the CCME website. Fellows are exempt from the IPM requirement but are encouraged to participate in the lecture series.
When you register on the CCME homepage, make sure to check “OSUWMC Housestaff” under the Hospital Affiliation category.
The lectures are available 24 hours a day and require Real Audio for viewing. All PCs in the 3 West Doan Hall on-call suite, in addition to many individual department areas, are equipped for viewing. Any questions regarding the IPM lecture series can be directed to Erica Twersky in the GME office (3-6606).
