Pathogenesis
Mark E. Sobel, MD, PhD, Director of Journal CME Programs
 Objectives:
Participants of the ASIP Journal CME Program in Pathogenesis should
be able to demonstrate an increase in, or confirmation of their
knowledge of the pathogenesis of disease after reviewing specific articles
in The American
Journal of Pathology (AJP).
Participants:
This program is
specifically developed for clinicians and for researchers investigating the
mechanisms of disease who wish to advance their current knowledge of the
cellular and molecular biology of disease.
CME Credit:
This activity has
been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and
policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)
through the joint sponsorship of the
Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and
the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP).
FASEB is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical
education for physicians. FASEB designates
this educational activity for up to 50 credit
hours in category 1 credit towards the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. To
receive credit, participants must answer questions based on selected
articles in Volumes 168 and 169 of The American Journal of Pathology
(calendar year 2006) and achieve a cumulative score of at least 75% (correct
answers to at least 38 of the 50 questions in the annual program) in
addition to completing an evaluation form.
Disclosure
Policy: The Federation requires that participants
of FASEB-sponsored educational programs be informed of an author’s academic
and professional affiliation and the existence of any significant financial
interest or other relationship with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial
product(s) mentioned in the educational activity. This policy allows the
reader to be fully knowledgeable in evaluating the information being
presented. Disclosure includes any relationship that may bias one’s
representation or which, if known, could give the perception of bias.
The American Journal of Pathology requires that authors certify any
affiliations (e.g., employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria,
expert testimony) with any organization or entity with a direct financial
interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in the article. Any
such disclosures shall be indicated on the question sheets for this
continuing medical education journal program.
