The American Medical Association requires that all learners participating in activities involving enduring materials complete a formal assessment before claiming continuing medical education (CME) credit. To assess your achievement in this activity and ensure that a specified level of knowledge has been reached, a posttest for this Section of the Basic and Clinical Science Course is provided online. A minimum score of 80% must be obtained to pass the test and claim CME credit.

3.Select the appropriate Academy activity. You will be directed to the posttest.
4.Once you have passed the test with a score of 80% or higher, you will be directed to your transcript. If you are not an Academy member, you will be able to print out a certificate of participation once you have passed the test.
CME expiration date: June 1, 2018. AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ may be claimed only once between June 1, 2015, and the expiration date.

How to Use the Self Testing Function
Welcome to Self Test for Intraocular Inflammation and Uveitis. You can access the test either directly from the Table of Contents or from the link at the end of this page.
How to Set Up the Self Test
On the “Self Test” screen, check the box next to the Section title to show the total number of questions in the Self Test.
You can control the total number of questions to be included in the Self Test by either moving the slider or directly inputting the number of questions required.
In addition, you can choose to “Randomize Questions” by dragging the button in that field until “YES” appears in the slider. This randomizes the questions, which otherwise appear in the order presented in the print version of the book.
Once the number of questions is entered, the Self Test can be launched by tapping on the “Start Self Test” button. The “Close” button on the top-right corner will close the Self Test and take you back to the eBook.
Creating and Taking a Test with Immediate Feedback
For a test with immediate feedback, choose “Quiz” and the “Create a Test With Immediate Feedback” button, and then follow the instructions in “How to Set Up a Self Test,” above.
When a question is presented, tap on the option you want to select. The feedback will be shown immediately. The “Next Question” and “Previous Question” buttons take you to the next or previous question in the Self Test. You can navigate to a random question by moving the slider at the bottom of the screen. You can always skip a question and move forward by tapping the “Next Question” button.
Once you are sure that you have completed the Self Test, tap on the “Finish”
button. This will take you to the “Results” screen, which shows your results and percentage of correct responses. This screen also contains buttons for retrying the same test or creating a new test.
Can I Take Multiple Self Tests?
