CME Quiz
Clinical and informational articles (pertaining to physician practice) accepted by the editorial board and appearing in the Maryland Family Doctor publication have been pre-approved for continuing medical education (CME) credit. Readers who complete and return to the Academy office a CME quiz will obtain the number of credits offered in each edition (average 2 credits). This is an easy way to obtain credit at no cost, a value-added benefit to our physician readers. We ask that authors submit along with their articles up to five questions to be used in the CME Journal Quiz. Sample approved articles and quizzes may be viewed on the MAFP website in the Publications and News Section.
Each edition of the Maryland Family Doctor magazine is mailed to MAFP members/others and posted on the MAFP website, www.mdafp.org.
