The Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) and Rocky Vista University
College of Osteopathic Medicine - Digital Health Track (RVU-DHT) are partnering to develop foundational educational content for practicing clinicians towards providing exceptional care in the digital era of healthcare. Content creation is jointly guided by DiMe and RVU faculty, and researched by students at RVU-DHT as some of the first physicians trained specifically in digital health.
The course will feature 8 modules, each with a pre- and post-test, as well as a final exam to test your knowledge and competency at the end of the course. The entire course, including the final exam, has 5.00 AOA Category 1-A CME available. Each module is expected to take around 30-40 minutes to complete for a total of approximately 5 contact hours plus the final exam.
You will repeat this for all 8 modules. Once you have completed all 8, you will have access to a comprehensive final exam covering content from all 8 modules. You must get a 70% or higher on this exam to obtain your certificate, and you will have three attempts. After successfully completing the exam, you will receive your certificate and access to various references and resources.
