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. You will need to pass the quiz at the end of each chapter you complete, then just let us know you are ready to claim your certificate. Send a mail to .
