Obesity Medicine CME
Hello,
I'm looking into getting board certified in obesity medicine (ABIM certified and currently in endocrinology fellowship). I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with the CME pathway options and if anyone can give feedback or recommendations?
Also, any advice on how to prep for the exam and how long the typical prep time is?
Thank you so much. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
