Pointless CME

All doctors in Singapore stress over their CME requirements and getting enough CME points to enable them to renew their Practising Certificates. Most of the time, we go for CME activities for the free lunch and take a power nap or two. If all else fails, we do CME MCQs to get the required CME points. After that, we forget everything we have heard or read and let’s face it, it’s quite a pointless exercise at the end of the day.

Well, fear not, this Hobbit is here to help you helplessly with another absolutely pointless CME activity. No points will be awarded because this test will never be sanctioned by SMC. As usual, answers will be made known sometime next month, if ever at all. The pass rate you are required to obtain zero CME points is 0%.
