Medical Education Programs
In a partnership with Rush University Medical Center, The Metro Foundation currently offers a vastly successful infectious disease board review course for physicians, physician assistants, registered nurses and fellows-in-training. The need for board certification and re-certification preparation is extensive. Since 2004, attendance at the board review has grown from about 30 attendees in 2004 to over 125 attendees from 32 states and four countries in 2007.
While two similar courses exist in the United States, the Metro Foundation Infectious Disease Board and Re-certification Course is currently the only one of its kind in the Midwest.
The program is currently supported in part by unrestricted medical education grants from pharmaceutical companies and other industry support.
