How the Self-Assessment Program Works
1. Assessment your knowledge
You'll receive a Question book consisting of clinical, problem solving multiple choice questions and multiple true-false questions. The questions will objectively validate your relevant clinical knowledge and assess your ability to accurately diagnose and manage patients with complex lipid disorders.
2. Complete the answer sheet
Fill out the answer sheet provided in your Question book and return within two months.
3. Get your score report
Your personalized score report will provide a detailed outline of your performance, including your total score, a list of the items you answered incorrectly,
the correct answer for those items, and the percent of all participants who answered those items correctly.
4. Review the Educational (Learning) Critique
The Educational Critique book contains detailed explanations for the correct and incorrect answers for the questions based on the most current, peer-reviewed published information to immediately help you to 1) strengthen the weak areas identified in the confidential score reports, and 2) reinforce positive areas of knowledge and understanding.
5. Request CME/CE Credit
For each program you complete, you'll receive a Certificate of Participation and a CME/CE credit for a maximum of 32-40 hours. The credit hours earned by your participation meet the credentialing and certification standards established by the American Board of Clinical Lipidology and the Accreditation Council for Clinical Lipidology.
