I'll have to look into their materials.

I'm not an MD in any sense.<BR/><BR/>There is a site called "Bipolar University" offering CME credits I thought might be useful. I had no problem signing up as an MD and taking a few of their "courses." I've got a few CME certificates I could even frame and hang up in my cubicle. :)<BR/><BR/>But they are a joke. There's little real information. And guess who sponsors the site: Astra Zeneca. Now I like Seroquel just fine. It works for me. But this CME is a farce. Very slick, though. I do give them that, but it's transparent as hell.<BR/><BR/>Why do so many of you people prostitute yourselves this way? <BR/><BR/>All patients participating in online forums know what's going on. There are so many psych blogs written by practicing psychiatrists and other insiders that it's no secret to patients how little respect many of you deserve.<BR/><BR/>There are some good ones out, though.
