Announcing the Affinity CME Video Blog!

The Affinity Health System CME Offerings (aka The Affinity CME Video Blog) via your computer.


What is it?
* A regularly updated website where you can access video presentations of continuing medical education (CME) programs previously presented at Mercy Medical Center. We hope to add other programs from around Affnity soon.
* Access is 24/7 - on your own schedule
* Access from your work or home computer
* Better use of time (not spent in travel to the presentation site)

* So more of you can "attend" these lectures without physically being there
