While you can claim CME certificates as you work through each chapter, if you prefer (e.g. if you are only able to use full credits because you are based in Europe) you can claim a single certificate for your total activity in this course. It will be available to download on your dashboard after you have completed all quizzes and evaluated all chapters. An ultrasound device for this activity was provided by Canon as In-kind support.
