The AMA requires participants to complete a post-test for enduring materials and the AGD requires self-instruction courses to have a mechanism by which the learner can asses his/her mastery of the material before credit can be awarded. The success of this educational activity depends on how well we served the participant. Your answers and comments are valuable to us as we plan for the future.
