An Interactive Case-Based CD-ROM

Program Description
Choose Your Challenge: Setting a Course for Improved Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis is an interactive CD-ROM based on the Web-based program that launched in February 2008. This activity allows clinicians to navigate through up to 3 allergic rhinitis (AR) patient cases. Guided by audio and video clips from an expert on AR and useful data slides, clinicians can test their knowledge on current evidence, as well as diagnostic and/or treatment decisions for each individual case. Completion of each 15-minute case will yield 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. This activity is also available as an E2 mini-monograph.
