Continuing education resources on the Internet are as varied as education styles.
There are lists of meetings / symposiums, electronic discussion groups, tutorials,
interactive case studies and resources for home studies.
With this broad range of choices, we can only provide links to sites that will assist you
in making your continuing education choices. Please note that not all CME courses are
accredited (although most of those we have listed are). Make sure that you review each
site's CME course credentials to ensure that it meets your needs. You may need to check
with your state certification board.
The various Internet search engines have vast amounts of links for a search on "cme
courses". If you are using one of these search engines, we recommend that you include
the type of course and/or specialty to make your search more meaningful.
Here is our list of those sites that we feel offer the most information. There are some
sites which look like they may be promising, but at the time of this review, they were
limited in choices. We will review these at a later time and add more to this list as
needed.
