Your occupation determines your CME/CE type and area. 
Physicians get AMA Category 1 Credit^TM . and Cardiac Sonographers get ASRT CE. If you occupation is not a physician or a cardiac sonographer then CE is not available.
Physicians can participate in iTEE, eTEE, Echo-of-the-Day, and Case-of-the-Week CME Activities.
Cardiac Sonographers can participate in eTEE CE Activity only.

 Activating a CME Session

 

After you log into e-echocardiography you must Activate a CME Session. 
Activating a CME Session will take you to the CME Disclaimer page and all Advertisements and References to Manufacturers are removed from the Educational Sections. 
To activate a CME Session click on the

 

 

 

button in the Welcome  page OR click on the CME Session link at the top right of every page. 
When a CME Session is active you will see a CME Disclaimer page and the CME Session link will change to Active CME Session
which indicates that your CME Session is active.

 

 

 

 
Just follow the links in the Education section.  Your subscription determines which chapters will be active.

 

 

A CME exam for the correlating chapter can be found under the CME section in the menu bar.  Just select the chapter you reviewed, review the information, check that you have enough CME credits in your CME bank (unless you are going to pay by credit card) and start the exam.  The exam is 10 questions for physicians. For cardiac sonographers the CME exam is about 10-12 questions per CME unit.  You will not be able to answer the questions unless you have read the material.  Also, if the database does not indicate that you have reviewed every page in the chapter within the last 90 days you will be denied access to that CME exam.

 

 

After the FIRST successful completion of a CME Exam, a link to a certificate will be on the cme exam grading page. Click this link and save or print the Adobe Acrobat (pdf) file. After you log in under your account page is a chapter cme page. This page will list your cme certificates. Click the link and the certificate is AUTOMATICALLY downloaded to your computer. Go to your default download directory to retrieve your certificate. Check your browser and computer settings if you don't know where your download directory is located.

 

For Echo-of-the-Day and Case-of-the-Week there are links in your account for those sections that will provide a summary of the current year or a summary of all years or a link with a summary and all of the certificates in a pdf (Adobe Acrobat) file. If you want to submit the certificate you can download each certificate with the corresponding link on the cme certificate page or you can download all of the certificates (which is what we suggest unless you like to click a link 100-300 times). If you have your ABA number in your account we will submit the cme credits for you electronically every quarter. If you are a cardiologist then if you have your ABIM number in your account we will automatically submit them every month also. We submit to the ACCME, not the ABA (who stopped as of Jan 1, 2017). The NBE has access to your account if you are submitting to the NBE also.

 

 

You must purchase CME credits for your CME bank before taking a CME exam or CME activity (EOTD or COTW).  When you successfully pass an exam, the CME units are deducted from your CME bank.  When you start a CME exam, we will inform you how many CME credits you have in your bank so you can purchase more credits prior to taking the exam.

 

 

Also in the CME menu is the CME Bank.  The CME bank allows individual users to buy CME credits at a discount before taking a CME exam.  Once an exam is passed, the number of credits awarded is subtracted from the CME bank.  You can purchase additional CME credits at any time before taking the CME exam by going to your account area and purchasing additional CME credits.

 

Go to the CME Bank in your account to buy CME credits.
