CME Outfitters Announces neuroscienceCME Journal Club Update
This informational service helps busy clinicians stay up-to-date with recently published literature via an interview format during which guest authors present their work and answer audience questions via webcast and audioconferences.
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) February 21, 2008 -- CME Outfitters, LLC, an independent accredited provider of multidisciplinary medical education programming and related healthcare communications services, launched neuroscienceCME Journal Club in January to strong response from the clinical community. This informational service helps busy clinicians stay up-to-date with recently published literature via an interview format during which guest authors present their work and answer audience questions via webcast and audioconferences.
neuroscienceCME Journal Club live presentations and Q&A are held on the second Monday of each month, with online archives available immediately after each session.
Guest authors continue to address questions submitted via email for two weeks after each live event. This provides expanded access opportunities for those who may have missed the live presentation or attendees who wish to pose follow-up questions.
Premiering in January 2008, neuroscienceCME Journal Club began with a special series on Sleep-Wake Medicine. International sleep specialist Thomas Roth, PhD, is the host of four interview segments on this topic. Guest authors in the Sleep-Wake Medicine series include:
