The Academy has launched its first batch of Cat 3B Self-Learning MME CME modules on Medical Ethics that qualify for such MME core points from 6 February 2024 with the 2nd batch of modules on 16 December 2024.
As part of your members’ privilege, Fellows and members in good standing will be able to attempt these modules at no cost. You will be auto-enrolled in these modules and directly access the modules via your My Tasks Dashboard on the new AMS Learning platform. For any queries, please reach us at AMSLearning@ams.edu.sg.
