Mobile CME FAQ
Using mobile CME
We've tried to design mobile Annals CME to be intuitive to use. You will be able to control all functions on your device's touchscreen with just your finger. All the desktop website's features are available in the mobile version.
Touch the top bar (labeled "Annals of Internal Medicine CME" in green) to navigate to the home menu from any screen. Likewise, the small "house" symbol at the bottom of every screen also takes you home. From the home screen, you can navigate to all parts of the site.
Because this website is optimized for mobile use, all newly published content is immediately available on your device. No waiting for an update from the App Store, or downloading new content. Likewise, your My CME history is immediately updated as soon as you begin or complete a CME course.
A wifi connection is required to submit quizzes and evaluations, and to claim credit for completing a course.
As always, in order to earn credits, you must be an active individual subscriber to the journal Annals of Internal Medicine Online, and the CME course itself must not be expired.
