General Questions 1. IGR is an online service that provides continuing medical education opportunities for physicians and associated health professionals. Participants answer questions about simulated patient cases in order to receive CE credit. IGRs are constructed to mimic realistic patient interactions, from patient presentation, through diagnosis and treatment. Each question reveals a unique teaching point via the explanation of the correct answer.
Content is developed specifically for physicians for the purpose of continuing medical education.
However, depending upon the case, other health professionals may be interested in the activity, and may be able to apply the activity toward other associations' recognition awards. Non-physician participants may include associated medical professionals such as physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, residents, and students. Users can also register with IGR for free updates about new cases. The editors of IGR acknowledge the critical role peer-reviewed journals play in educating busy clinicians about the latest in scientific discovery and modern practice. For each topic area, IGR features a partner journal - essentially, a publication selected to enhance the educational merit of available cases, as well as to extend the reach of each program.
