Dear Colleague: Welcome to the Anesthesia & Analgesia CME Site, sponsored by the International Anesthesia Research Society. If you are having difficulty logging in, please go to our FAQ pages. This site is offered as a free benefit to IARS members. Every month one or more articles in Anesthesia & Analgesia will be selected for this CME program. These articles will be noted with the Anesthesia & Analgesia CME logo in the table of contents and on the article. There is also a link from the online table of contents to the CME program. The articles are selected by Dr. Jeffrey Gross, our CME Editor and Dr. Martin London, Section Editor for Cardiovascular and Thoracic Education. The pages of Anesthesia & Analgesia balance basic and clinical science. The CME program, by contrast, is focused on providing a high quality continuing educational program for the practicing clinician. Articles are selected for the CME program based on the immediate clinical relevance of the material. It is our hope that the Anesthesia & Analgesia CME Program will provide a convenient way to fulfill your CME requirements. However, the fundamental goal of this CME program is identical to that of the Journal itself: improving patient care. You may access CME exams by subject or date from the Anesthesia & Analgesia CME page. Links are also provided on the table of contents, and on the CME designated articles themselves. Drs. Gross and London will be preparing quizzes for you to demonstrate your mastery of the CME material. Each quiz will be based on one or more of the designated CME articles in Anesthesia & Analgesia. Each quiz will contain five questions that capture the most important "pearls". You need to answer four of the five questions correctly to pass the quiz. You may take the quiz several times if necessary to pass. As an organization accredited for continuing medical education by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the International Anesthesia Research Society designates these educational activities for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. You will receive a printable certificate with your CME credits after completing each quiz. You can also print a summary of your accumulated CME credits at any time from the Anesthesia & Analgesia CME website. Your CME credits will also be transmitted to the IARS home office, who will be able to provide you a summary whenever required. As our CME site is a new benefit for the IARS membership, we are anxious to receive your feedback. Please send us comments, suggestions, or other feedback through our feedback page. You are also welcome to send your comments directly to me at editor{at}anesthesia-analgesia.org. Our CME site will evolve over the next year or so, based on your feedback, to provide you with useful online CME program possible. Again, welcome to the Anesthesia & Analgesia CME program! Steven L. Shafer, MD Editor-in-Chief Anesthesia & Analgesia P.S.: Because the IARS fully funds this program, it is only available to IARS members. If you are interested in this CME program, you can join the IARS ($140/year) via the IARS website. |
