Test your radiology knowledge with JAMA Network Clinical Challenges

Radiologists have a new, stress-free way to earn CME credits online.

JN Learning™, the CME arm of the JAMA Network™, enables users to browse the JAMA Network catalogue of over 5,000 online resources by any medical topic. A filter then lets users locate more than 1,700 relevant online CME opportunities. 

CME from the JAMA Network also enables you to earn AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ from a source you trust. The AMA has added lessons for many of the most common specialty health topics.

The radiology category helps learners correctly diagnose and treat unusual findings on radiographs, CTs and MRIs, PET scans and more. Its nine-lesson online series covers the following topics:
