Post-test CME/CDE

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education requires that CME providers document that CME activities increase physician competence or performance or improve patient outcomes. In order to assess whether the recent COVID-19 educational program increased participants' competence in the areas addressed in the Program, AAMS is conducting a post-activity assessment of the Program.

You are asked to complete below quiz on the content of the Educational Expert Series Webinars on Various Aspects of COVID-19.

Your CME/CDE certificate will be emailed to you.

Thank you for your help. The information you provide helps AAMS better address the educational needs of the medical community. We hope the Scientific Program contributed to your professional development.

He is a certified Lean Healthcare expert from Systems Engineering schools of MIT/LMU combined program and a certified laboratory inspector by the College of American Pathologists. He also serves as a senior scientist and consultant for Morava Inc. scientific and technology services leading a research on Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). His works on FMF were published in Nature’s Journal of Human Genetics, in Nature’s Journal of Genetics in Medicine, and in the Journal of Molecular Genetic and Genomic Medicine. In 2018 the Yerevan State Medical University (YSMU) granted him an adjunct professorship in the clinical genetics department where he is leading the Armenian Breast Cancer Genetic Project. The first article of this project is under review. During COVID19 pandemic he has set up several molecular diagnostics assays to identify SARS-COV-2 pathogen and has lectured about the virus’s genome evolution for Kaiser Permanente laboratory system and for the YSMU genetics department. He serves as the president of the California Association of Bioanalysts, State’s only laboratory director organization.
