Test your knowledge with clinical challenges from JAMA Network

Online learning opportunities, including continuing medical education (CME), are more valuable than ever. They’re also more accessible than ever.

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. 

All of these clinical challenges are available on the AMA Ed Hub™.

The AMA has added lessons for many of the most common specialty health topics. Each provides a brief assessment by way of an online series of lessons.
