Altoona Family Physicians is one of the first US Residencies to adopt the FMPE “Practice Based Small Group Learning” Program.  This is a Canadian program designed to help physicians enhance their knowledge and integrate new information into their practices.  Rather than a traditional didactic lecture format, the sessions focus on discussion of modules composed of authentic cases and evidence-based information.  The participants also are encouraged to bring their own cases to discuss.  The goal of the program is “to facilitate the transition from learning as part of a formal training program, to a commitment to self-directed CME,” which will assist our graduates throughout their professional careers.  Altoona Family Physicians has been selected as one of very few US residency programs to offer this excellent program, so we are very proud to be able to extend this opportunity to our residents.  For more information, sample modules and patient handouts please visit The Foundation for Medical Practice Education.
