Techniques in Noninvasive Vascular Diagnosis-3rd Ed. is now authorized for 15 CME credits. Although all versions of the 3rd Edition are approved for CME credits, the CME application and examination found in the early version of the third edition are no longer valid. In later versions the test was removed and replaced with website directions. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PURCHASED TECHNIQUES, A NEW APPLICATION AND TEST MUST BE DOWNLOADED from this website. This earlier version is titled "NEW" Third Edition" and contains "Chapter 18. Test Questions and CME Application". This book version was printed before the new CME requirements were established.
