Navigating Around the Web site

At the top of the upper level pages will be the navigation toolbar. You can click on sections of the toolbar to view that section. Some sections require you to be a registered user and logged in. The toolbar will be located at the top of every page unless a new browser window is loaded (for CME certificates, for example).

Navigating the Menu

The following explains the menu item's capabilities and actions.

To simplify the menu system please remember the following:

White = means Active Link - You can go here!

Yellow = means Temporary Denial of Access!

Light Green = means check subscription!

Gray = means No Access
Light Blue = means Planned Content Area

Navigating around the Web Pages

In pages without a tool bar, a drop down menu will be located in the left upper corner or right upper corner of each page. The drop down menu will contain a list of links(bookmarks) of the current page or chapter. From the drop down menu you can quickly surf to subsections of the web page without having to scroll down the page. Use the back button of your web browser to go back. At the right upper corner of the syllabus section are two drop down menus. The top drop down menu is for navigating to other chapters. The bottom drop down menu is for navigating pages within the current chapter. At the bottom of each page are arrows taking you to the next page or the previous page of the section. Once a section is complete you can go the the CME exam portion for the material you just finished or go to the next section.

Finding "Click able Items" in a Web Page

Each web page will have click able items. Usually as you pass your mouse over a click able item the item will change in some manner to let you know it is a click able item. The exception is icons or labels. In images, labels will have a popup text box that will further explain the meaning of the abbreviation.
