NCME-TV

NCME-TV is an online service offered by the library as a means of earning continuing education credits.  Every month, a new 1-hour video is posted on the site.  Physicians can view the video and then take the self-assessment quiz to earn CME credit.  This service is available directly via the NCME-TV website http://www.ncmetv.com/.  However, to register as a member of the UMMS community, you must first contact the Library Service Point in the Lamar Soutter Library (508-856-6099 or X6-6099) to acquire the correct hospital ID number.
