Like all texts, manuals, support guides, and blogs, this site conveys personal opinions and experiences. Providers may approach a patient or procedure in many ways, and this blog is not a dictum nor is it meant to dictate standard of care. It is a clinical guide, not a legal document; do not reference this site in court or as a defense. It is your responsibility to follow your hospital’s procedures and protocol and to practice under the guidelines of your professional license. Founded in 1977, and based in Creamery, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia, the organization has been providing its subscribers and course participants with a variety of state-of-the-art continuing medical education resources. The Center for Medical Education has over 6,000 physician participants in their affiliated educational courses each year and over 10,000 subscribe to their affiliated publications earning over 200,000 hours of CME credit annually. Next to the American College of Emergency Physicians, it is believed that The Center for Medical Education is the largest provider of emergency medicine CME in the country. In addition to sponsoring our own courses, we also furnish support services for a variety of other CME course providers. In 1980 the first of a series of literature-based courses was presented by The Center for Medical Education based on the Emergency Medical Abstract database. Since that time over 250 such courses have been provided with attendance exceeding 20,000. Courses have been conducted throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Over the years we’ve expanded our seminar offerings to include courses based on the Primary Care Medical Abstracts database, have joint ventured on other courses (see the National Emergency Medicine Board Review course) and have furnished support services for a variety of other course providers. With the addition of Coursehost.net, The Center for Medical Education will provide high quality self study programs of all of its popular courses. In addition, The Center for Medical Education is partnering with other CME providers allowing them a platform to bring their content online.
