CME Xtracredit on the move via iPhone


                              


Lippincott Continuing Medical Education Institute, Inc. (LCMEI), a wholly owned subsidiary of WKH that certifies more education than any other nationally accredited publisher in the United States  recently launched XtraCredit, a novel internet-point-of-care (IPOC) activity for physicians to use on their iPhone and iTouch devices.



IPOC CME allows physicians to receive needed CME credit for finding answers to their clinical questions among approved resources, including LWW medical books and journals, and documenting their experience in a specified way. Users can download the application at no charge; there is a small per-credit fee for each documented search.



XtraCredit allows readers of LWW journals, and users of services such as Ovid to earn CME credit; and publishers can promote this valuable new learning activity to their customers. 

The application lets you conduct your research through hundreds of approved online resources such as Ovid, PubMed, Google Scholar, National Guideline Clearing House, OMIM, any of more than 500 hundred medical journals published by Lippincott Williams Wilkins, BMJ group, BioMed Central and others, even for use of EMR-based clinical decision-support such as Clin e-guide and Zynx. Credit is provided under the Internet Point of Care CME rules by the Lippincott CME Institute, Inc.

This app is available through the iPhone AppStore. The application and first use is free. Thereafter One will be charged an introductory price of $4.99 for each completed learning activity.
