Do I get CME credit for this?
Will it satisfy my state requirement for pain management education?

Nice job. Very interesting. Would like to hear other comments from experienced pain medicine practitioners.

No and no for CME or state licensure requirements, but these may be implemented in the future...good idea! I will investigate what that would entail.
