Self-Study STD Modules for Clinicians

When it comes to CE offerings, one of the most popular topics on this site is sexually transmitted diseases (what does this say about us as a discipline I wonder?). If you’re looking for a little bit of a refresher, or you need the hours, the CDC has an STD self-study that includes modules on gonorrhea, chlamydia, and vaginitis (which I think is helpful to know when it comes to that whole question, is it pathology, is it trauma or is it a normal variant?). The curriculum is based on the 2010 treatment recommendations.

Nursing and medical CEs are available for each module:

Continuing Medical Education (CME)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 1.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Continuing Nursing Education (CNE)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is accredited as a provider of Continuing Nursing Education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.

This activity provides 1.2 contact hours.
