As is commendable by the ACCME criteria, CME is integrated into the process for improving professional practice with educational strategies implemented to remove, overcome or address barriers to physician change.

Practical Reviews™ selects and translates peer-reviewed literature for practical use, therefore diminishing the barrier of time.
