ASA’s journal, Anesthesiology, offers a CME product linked to its articles. The Anesthesiology CME Editor chooses an article out of each month’s journal and writes thought-provoking questions (3-6 each month) associated with that article. The article, questions and learning objectives, with an explanation of the program, appear each month in the printed journal. By subscribing to the program and answering those questions via the Internet, the user can receive up to one hour of category 1 CME credit per issue.
All interactions (subscriptions, questions/answers and CME credit) will be completed via the Internet. All journal readers — members and nonmembers — are invited to participate in the program. A user may choose to sign up for a year’s subscription or for one issue at a time.
The user will have until December 31 of the year following the year of publication (i.e., December 31, 2006, for the 2005 publications) to view the article, complete the questions and receive CME credit.
The user must receive a score of 50 percent or greater to receive CME credit. If the user has not received a passing score after answering the questions, he/she is given the opportunity to repeat the questions.
ASA is approved by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to sponsor continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. ASA designates this educational activity for a maximum of one hour per issue of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
