Accreditation and credits
The ASN is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The ASN designates each CME program for 1 hour of category 1 credit toward the American Medical Association (AMA) Physicians Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those hours of credit that he or she actually spent on the education program.
Instructions
Each issue of the AJCN will usually include at least 2 articles designated for CME credit. After reading the CME-designated article, select the best answer to each exam question listed below and complete the evaluation. To receive CME credit, you should return the exam and evaluation pages along with the CME Participant Response Form by April 30, 2007. Please fax the pages to the ASN at 301-634-7351 or mail them to the following address: American Society for Nutrition, CME Program, 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814. Note that all responses must be prepaid. Answers to the questions will be mailed to all participants, and certificates of credit will be sent to participants who successfully complete each exam. Please be sure to make a photocopy of the exam for your records before submitting it to the ASN.
