HSG Announces Launch of CME4HD 2019 – Accredited Online Education Platform

Beginning February 1, 2019, the Huntington Study Group (HSG) will offer the latest update to its popular online learning program, CME4HD. Once again, CME4HD courses will be offered free of charge thanks in part to an educational grant from Teva Pharmaceuticals.

CME4HD originally began as in-person training on Huntington’s disease (HD) at the HSG’s annual meeting, before launching in 2018 in an online, self-paced format. Learners can earn up to 3.25 total CME, CNE or IPCE credits by completing all courses in the program. Interested learners can register for a user account on the HSG’s learning platform, and learn more about the CME4HD program on our website: https://huntingtonstudygroup.org/cme4hd-online/

The CME4HD program presents evidence driven data and examples about Huntington’s disease by stage and disease burden. CME4HD 2019 content is designed for healthcare professionals, including social workers, nurses, and neurologists, who provide care to patients with HD. Family members serving as caregivers will also find the content extremely valuable.The HSG is extremely grateful to Bridget Lyon and Jeff McDonald for allowing their documentary, The Inheritance, to be used as a case study and for these courses. The Inheritance honors the efforts of Bridget’s mother to strengthen public awareness of Huntington’s disease. She wanted people to know what it was and how it affected entire families, generation after generation. All users that register for CME4HD 2019 will have access to the full-length documentary.

CME4HD has been planned and implemented by North American Center for Continuing Medical Education, LLC (NACCME) and the Huntington Study group. NACCME is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
