CME RISK MANAGEMENT ONLINE PROGRAM
The Risk Management CME Program is now available in an independent study program format.
The program is reproduced from the Risk Management CME Program taught more than 30 times a year to Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) members.
This program has been recognized and accredited by the CAP Education/CME Committee under the auspices of the California Medical Association (CMA).
While all new members will still attend the in-person CME program, this web-based version, as well as a CD-ROM version (available soon), will offer members the following additional educational opportunities:
If more than 12 months has passed since a physician member has attended the CME Program, he will be able to complete the self study version at home. After the member submits the correct answers on the electronically formatted quiz at the end of the program, CAP Risk Management will issue a CME Certificate granting three hours of AMA PRA Category I credits™.
Members may repeat the course every 12 months for CME credit toward their medical licensing requirements.
The program progresses from slide-to-slide automatically but may be stopped at any point. A table of contents is present and useful if the viewer wishes to return to a particular slide or section for review. If unable to view the entire program and complete the quiz in one sitting, a member should take note of the slide number so he may resume at the same point later.
Target Audience: All CAP Members
Appropriate for All Medical Specialties
