About CME in this Journal
Approximately 24 journal article CME activities and 12 In the Clinic CME activities are available through the journal annually. Each activity expires within 24 months of its publication online to ensure that the activity has not become obsolete because of recently published research.
Accreditation Statement
The American College of Physicians is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing education for physicians.
The American College of Physicians designates each journal article educational activity for a maximum of one AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and each In the Clinic educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Intended Audience
The intended audience consists of internal medicine physicians.
Objectives
These activities have been developed for internists to facilitate the highest quality professional work in clinical applications, teaching, consultation, or research. Upon completion of a CME activity, participants should be able to demonstrate an increase in the skills and knowledge required to maintain competence, strengthen their habits of critical inquiry and balanced judgment, and contribute to better patient care.
