2006 JMD CME Program in Molecular
Diagnostics
Mark E. Sobel, MD, PhD, Director of Journal CME Programs
Participants of the
JMD CME Program in Molecular Diagnostics should be able to
demonstrate an increase in, or confirmation of, their knowledge of
the latest advances in molecular diagnosis and prognosis and understanding
of molecular pathogenesis of disease after reviewing specific articles in
The Journal of
Molecular Diagnostics (JMD).
This program is
specifically developed for trainees, clinicians and researchers interested
in the molecular basis of disease and the application of nucleic acid and
protein assays for diagnostic and prognostic analysis of disease.
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 Volume 8 of
The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics
(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 Journal of Molecular Diagnostics 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.
