What is the difference between a “Live” and “Enduring” program?
The satellite broadcasts and web casts each week are considered “live” CME activities. The rebroadcasts and online archived web programs are considered “enduring”. An enduring activity is a non-live CME activity that "endures" over time and with a release and expiration date. The learning experience by the physician can take place at any time in any place, rather than only at one time, and one place, like a live CME activity.
Do I have to complete a course in one sitting?
No. Once an activity is released on the Internet, they will be available for credit at dukeclinicalmedicineseries@dcri.duke.edu for one year. Participants may visit the site and each activity as often as they wish prior to, during, or after completing their post-test.
