Instructions for taking a CME/CE Course

Each CME/CE course should take in general, about 1 hour to complete. For those courses that are comprised of more than one quiz, or where the time to complete a course is estimated to be longer than the standard 1 hour, the course will be worth proportionately more credit hours.

• Each CME/CE course generally consists of the following modules:
• Full Text Article(s.
• CME/CE Quiz.
• CME/CE courses within Oxford Journals CME/CE can be accessed in the following ways:
• The online Table of Contents - Articles associated with a given CME/CE course will be designated by a CME/CE link adjacent to each article's title.
• The navigation box - Articles associated with a given CME/CE course will have a CME/CE link in their right-hand navigation box.
• Oxford Journals CME/CE homepage.
• The journal specific homepage.
• The following instructions apply:
• Select the CME/CE Course through one of the interfaces described above.
• Read the corresponding full-text article(s) associated with the selected CME/CE course in its entirety.
• After reading the article(s) in the course, you can access the CME/CE quiz by selecting the "Quiz" link provided on the course contents page.
• Complete all questions on the quiz. Select SUBMIT to process your score. Note: The CME/CE system will give an error if any questions are left unanswered.
• For those quizzes requiring a passing grade, if a passing score is not achieved, you will be asked to try again. Use the "back" button on your browser to return to the submit page. Upon completing the question(s) missed, select the SUBMIT button again.
• When a passing score is achieved (where applicable), the correct answers will be highlighted.
• A link to the preferred answer in the context of the reading material may also be provided, either before or after passing the quiz.
• Please select the "Evaluate" link to evaluate the associated CME/CE course, or select My CME/CE Summary to access your CME/CE summary page that indicates credit(s) earned, along with a link to a printable copy of your CME/CE certificate.
• The evaluation form is optional, but would be greatly appreciated in order to facilitate our analysis of CME/CE courses.
