CME Articles

The SIR Journal CME Program is a convenient way to earn credit for learning important information about the latest advances in medicine and research. Every month, at least one article in JVIR will have a companion CME exam available online at http://Learn.SIRweb.org. After logging in, click on the PUBLICATIONS link on the far right.

Nonmembers: If you do not already have a SIR username and password, please click on “Create an Account” to gain access to the SIR Learning Center.

The exam is scored automatically; your CME certificate is available immediately. New CME exams are available monthly, and will remain online for 3 years. This is a quick way to receive CME credit and increase your learning—a new source of CME is just a few keystrokes away.

The Society of Interventional Radiology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide medical education for physicians.

The Society of Interventional Radiology designates this journal-based CME activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
