BCOM Hosts First Continuing Medical Education Event
BCOM Pediatrics Chair Scott Cyrus, DO, headed up the event which welcomed more than 35 health care providers from the area to the BCOM campus.

In early May, BCOM hosted its first continuing medical education (CME) conference for faculty members and other health care providers in the area. CME courses are designed to help licensed health care providers maintain and increase their knowledge and skills. “As an education center, it’s our obligation to the community to provide education throughout the continuum of health care, not just for the students,” said BCOM Dean Don N. Peska, DO. “We noticed a demand for CME courses in the community and this is a way for us to pay it back to our preceptors who are helping to teach our students.”
