INSTRUCTIONS FOR CATEGORY I CME CREDIT Certification. The American Academy of Dermatology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians. The Academy certifies that when the CME material is used as directed, it meets the criteria for 2 hours of credit in Category I of the American Academy of Dermatology CME Award. The American Academy of Dermatology designates this educational activity for a maximum of 2 hours in Category I credit toward the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician’s Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. A formal policy statement regarding Category I credit for enduring materials has been adopted by the Council on Education. The policy states that AAD Category I CME credit for the Journal’s CME quiz is to be awarded for a 1-year period with a set expiration date at the conclusion of 1 year after the program issuance. This limitation has been instituted because CME activities are oriented to current and timely topics of possible limited longevity. Accordingly, the Academy cannot accept answer sheets for credit beyond the 1-year limit. A minimum score of 70% must be achieved to receive AAD Category I credit. This CME activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Essentials. Estimated
