Now, a day-long "General Practitioners Continuing medical education (CME)" programme will be held on February 24, in which around 500 practitioners from in and around Pune will participate.

The CME will focus on evidence-based learning with case scenarios focusing on active learning as the family physicians are going to be the co-ordinators for all 10 sessions that day.
