There are two means of assessment for this curriculum.

1. We ask that all participants take an online NBME multiple choice exam prior to the

start of and at the end of the entire didactics curriculum AND submit their results to us, for inclusion in the final letter of completion.

2. There are three to five questions at the end of each lecture that address the learning objectives. This post-test examination is used as an assessment tool to determine whether a participant has attained the educational objectives. Participants can retake the exam until they achieve the required passing score of 100%. CME credit for module 2 will be granted only to those participants who have answered all questions on the post-test exam correctly and who have completed the evaluation provided at the end of each activity.
