Courses : Overview and Instructions
All CHAMP courses are offered free of charge. However, some courses offer the option of taking the course for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit. There is a fee for this credit. In addition, some courses can also be taken for American Board of Pediatrics Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credit. This credit requires a fee in addition to the CME fee. Each course has a description page that explains whether the course offers credit and how to pay for this credit. If you have questions related to Continuing Medical Education, please contact JoAnne Race, racej@upstate.edu .

Completing a Quiz or Test and Answering the Survey
At the end of each short courses is a quiz. After you take the quiz, you will be notified of your score and see the correct answers. The Evaluating Child Sexual Abuse course has two tests that have a passing score of 80% each. When you take a test you will be immediately be notified whether you passed it. If you need or want to achieve a passing score, you can retake these tests until your score is at least 80%. These tests do not send you the correct answers.
The final step is to answer a short survey. Your input about the course is important to us. This survey is a requirement if you are taking the course for CME credit or the course is part of another course or program. Your survey serves as a record of your taking the course. Your responses, however, are tabulated anonymously.
