Online Cardiology CME on STEMI and NSTEMI Guidelines

[texasdoc71]

Hi everyone! I wanted to share an online medical education course I just completed. CME-University is hosting a free online cardiology CME which reviews the Updated STEMI & NSTEMI guidelines. In addition, it discusses ways to dose antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy to maximize efficacy and minimize bleeding risks for those undergoing PCI and for those undergoing fibrinolysis. I’ve recently completed this and found it was truly one of the most useful and relevant courses available. The course is for cardiologists, emergency physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, hospitalists, physician assistants and anyone else with an interest in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) treatment and is for 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit.

 

Here is the CME: http://www.stemicme.com

Also, can you inform as to a why a physician would need to acquire additional credits after med school and residency?

 

Is it required?
