Welcome to our October newsletter. We hope you have had a productive and enjoyable summer. We also hope that you have taken the time to familiarize yourself with the navigational capacities of our new table of contents.
Our partnership with the University of Virginia School of Medicine enables us to offer AMA Category 1 CME credit online for surgeons, a development reported by newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic. Please note that we have instituted a CME pay-per-view service on www.websurg.com (see below).
WebSurg has also received HONcode certification, under which it pledges to honor and respect the ethical principles drafted by the Health on the Net Foundation.
