The 56th Annual Winter Refresher Course for Family Medicine

March 12-13, 2026 | Milwaukee, WI

The Winter Refresher Course (WRC) for Family Medicine is a regional/statewide continuing medical education conference sponsored by the Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Family and Community Medicine and the Wisconsin Academy of Family Physicians (WAFP).

This program is designed for family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who care for patients across the lifespan. The WRC provides evidence-based updates of the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic medical conditions frequently seen in primary care, and a chance to network with professional colleagues across the state.

The AAFP has reviewed the 2026 WAFP & MCW Winter Refresher Course and deemed it acceptable for AAFP credit. Term of approval is from 03/12/2026 to 03/13/2026. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
