In partnership with The Medical University of Ohio and St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, SINC is pleased to offer Category I CME credit to its readers who participate in SINC Online Self-Assessment Activities.

The Medical University of Ohio and St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing medical Education (ACCME) to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians.

The Medical University of Ohio and St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center certify each CME designated activity published in SINC as one credit of Category 1 Continuing Medical Education Credit toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. Each of these activities is also accredited for 1.0 credit hours in Category 2-A of the American Osteopathic Association. In order to obtain one CME credit for archived cases, the user must complete two self-assessment cases. To obtain one CME credit for cases in Volume IV and beyond, the user must complete a self-assessment case, and obtain a passing score on the accompanying post-test quiz.

If you are interested in receiving CME credit for reviewing a case, please enter your contact information and complete the accompanying questionnaire that appears the first time you enter the diagnosis section of a CME case. Remember, for archived cases,both CME cases must be completed in order to receive credit; . For Volume IV cases, both the initial self-assessment quiz and the post-test quiz must be completed in order to receive credit. Upon receipt of your information, a certificate documenting your completion of the cases will be mailed to the address you provide. You must fill in all fields in order to receive credit for this activity. If you are not interested in receiving CME, you may optionally proceed directly to the diagnosis for each case.

Each case designated as CME is presented with the following learning objectives in mind:

1. The learner should be able to identify the following abnormalities when present on cardiac radionuclide images:

A. Ischemia

B. Infarction

C. Abnormal Ventricular Function

D. Abnormal Ventricular Size

2. The learner will be able to identify non-perfusion indices of ischemia, when present.

3. The learner will be able to identify non-cardiac abnormalities, when present, on cardiac radionuclide images.

4. The learner will be able to identify artifact, when present, on cardiac radionuclide images.

Each month, two new CME cases are published and added to the ongoing archive of CME cases available for online review. You may select the two most recent cases from this month's Current Issue or any cases from the Archives.
