Abstract
Members of the CAS and subscribers to the CJA are first invited to read the introduction that follows and the articles cited in the bibliography to prepare for the Self-Assessment Program. The reader should then go to the Journal’s website (www.cja-jca.org) for the Problem Based Learning session. Completion of the Self-Assessment Program will entitle subscribers to claim ten hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) under section 3 of CPD options, for a total of 20 Maintenance of Certification credits (note that section 3 hours are not limited to a maximum number of credits per five-year period). There is no requirement to succeed: the goal of participating is to define potential areas for improvement.
