Clinical is for one year Quiz questions are based on selected articles in this issue of American Family Physician. Answers appear in this issue. AFP has been reviewed by the American Academy of Family Physicians as having content acceptable for Prescribed credit. Term of approval from the beginning distribution date of January 2005. This issue has been reviewed and is acceptable for up to 3.5 Prescribed credits. One half of one credit conforms to AAFP criteria for evidence-based CME (EB CME) clinical content. The amount of CME has been doubled to reflect two-for-one credit for the EB CME portion only. When reporting CME credits, AAFP members should report total Prescribed credits earned for this activity. It is not necessary for members to label credits as EB CME for reporting purposes.
The AAFP is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide CME for physicians.
The AAFP designates this educational activity for a maximum of 3.5 Category 1 credits toward the American Medical Association Physician's Recognition Award (AMA/PRA). Each physician should claim only those credits that he or she actually spent in the activity.
AAFP Credit
Each copy of AFP contains a Clinical Quiz answer card. AAFP members may use this card to obtain the designated number of Prescribed credit hours for the year in which the card is postmarked.
AMA/PRA Category 1 Credit
AAFP members who satisfy the Academy's CME requirements are automatically eligible for the AMA/PRA.
Physicians who are not members of the AAFP are eligible to receive the designated number of credits in Category 1 of the AMA/PRA on completion and return of the Clinical Quiz answer card. AFP keeps a record of AMA/PRA Category 1 credits for nonmember physicians. This record will be provided on request; however, nonmembers are responsible for reporting their own Category 1 CME credits when applying for the AMA/PRA or other certificates or credentials.
For health care professionals who are not physicians and are AFP sub-scribers, a record of CME credit is kept by AAFP and will be provided to you on written request. You are responsible for reporting CME credits to your professional organization.
