HealthCMI is a consortium of authors and presenters dedicated to producing quality educational courses. HealthCMI allows medical professionals to obtain continuing education license credit while at the same time receive valuable educational materials which are useful in a clinical setting. Courses are presented in PDF format. This allows all courses to be downloaded and stored for easy referencing. PDF documents are searchable which enables acupuncturists, nurses, and dental professionals to quickly find medical information as needed. An advantage to presenting courses in this format is that all computers can read and search a PDF formatted document. Also, this makes the medical information portable and allows for easy printing of the materials. Our goal is to make the process of obtaining continuing education credits a valuable experience.Case Study: The site was originally built using Joomla 1.0 and rebuilt with Joomla 1.5 . The learning management system (LMS) which allows for participants to purchase courses, download materials, take quizzes (with automatic grading), and receive certificates of completion is a customized version of an open source LMS. At HealthCMI, we only use open source materials and nothing that is "locked down". This gives us the flexibility to provide quality educational materials without having to get stuck in outdated systems.
