## CME Information
For CME information (speakers' disclosures and accreditation statement), please see the slides presented at the beginning of each chapter.

This course follows a gradual content release model, meaning new chapters will become available over time. Each newly released chapter that receives accreditation will increase the total number of CME credits available for the course.

The final course is estimated to take approximately 10 hours to complete. As more chapters are released and accredited, the total CME credit count will reflect the expanded content accordingly.

We recommend checking back regularly to access new material and ensure you claim all eligible credits as they become available.

### **How to earn your CME credit**

In order to earn credit, you must watch the videos, take the quiz (pass mark 75%), and complete the evaluation on your dashboard. 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.
