What if, instead of being tied to your desk while you complete your CME, you could have access to the course work at a time and place that is convenient for you?

That is exactly what is possible now, with the help of your personal digital assistant. It only makes sense that this handy little device, that no doctor is without, should allow you to have access to CME course work on the go. 

The process is simple, you only need to log onto one of the sites that provides CME courses for the PDA such as, e-medicine or epocrates. Once at the site you can download the courses you need right onto your PDA. In a matter of minutes you can be on the way to furthering your medical knowledge.

If you are concerned that downloading may interfere with the data currently on your PDA, do not worry, the websites promise that downloading the courses will in no way disturb the applications and data that your currently have on your PDA.

Now any minute of down time that you have, say if you find yourself waiting at the airport, can be spent earning those CMEs.  Once you have completed the courses, you simply synchronize your PDA with the site again, to have it record your work for credit.

Another way to harness your PDA to earn credits is to access a site such as MedPage Today, which is a CE and CME accredited medical news site.  MedPage Today allows you to earn CME credits as you catch up on the latest medical developments.

Using your PDA for CME allows you a great amount of flexibility to complete a necessary task, in a time or place that works best for you.
