An examination component of the 2007 Study Guide enables you to assess your need for continuing medical education (CME) in the topics presented: the Self-Assessment Examination for Practitioners (SAE-P). An SAE-P with an accompanying answer key for each Study Guide chapter is contained in this issue. Completion of the 2 Study Guide topics earns 30 hours of Category 1 CME credit. Credit may be obtained until March 31, 2010.

The AAPM&R has designated each set of Study Guide articles and its corresponding SAE-P for a maximum of 15 Category 1 CME credits toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

Please complete the relevant program evaluation(s) and the CME application enclosed in the back of this issue to receive credit for these activities. Your participation in the Study Guides will be documented to the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR). These activities are an acceptable form of self-assessment required for Maintenance of Certification by the ABPMR. The Study Guide and the Self-Assessment Examination subcommittees welcome your evaluation of these materials. Each year members who have evaluated these materials have contributed to the ongoing improvement of the Self-Directed Physiatric Education Program.

Thank you for your cooperation and participation.
