Four medical societies develop tool for tracking CME activity

The Radiological Society of North America, the American College of Radiology, the Society of Nuclear Medicine and the American Roentgen Ray Society have designed a CME Gateway that allows members to collect and report all continuing medical education (CME) credits earned from each of the participating organizations.
   
The new online tool allows members to view, print and generate reports of their credits from the organizations from a single online access point. Members can also print a compilation of their individual CME certificates from each organization.
   
The CME Gateway can be accessed at http://www.CMEgateway.org. After creating an account with a name, e-mail address, user name and password, the member will be able to enter login information for each society to which he or she belongs.
