SAFM Deep Dive Clinical Courses: Self-tests & KIPs
Effective May 31, 2023
SAFM is excited to share the Deep Dive Clinical Courses (DDCC) KIP and Self-Test updates.
Each DDCC now includes a self-test and an ongoing reference tool called a “KIP” or Key Interconnectedness Pearls for the class. Each KIP is a short summary of key practical and clinical application concepts discussed in the associated Deep Dive Clinical Course. This document is not a course summary but rather a learning tool designed to help students synthesize complex information and reinforce the interconnectedness style of thinking that is foundational to the SAFM approach. KIPs are provided once a course and the associated self-test have been completed.
Here is the updated list of DDCCs with Self-Tests and KIPs:
| Deep Dive Clinical Course Title |
