Resources updated to support the 2015 Guidelines discussion for new Family Medicine Residents:

Additional Resources:

In addition, there are a number of "apps" that I think can be of use in clinic:

1) Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality: electronic Preventive Service Selector (ePSS)
2) Shots by STFM (Society or Teachers of Family Medicine)
3) American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology  ASCVD Risk Calculators (online)
