“Working on CARE is one of the best experiences I’ve had. You get to learn more than anybody who takes the module, and it is about as fun as an educational experience can be!” —Mark C. Fisher, MD

“Participation as a CARE writer is my favorite CME activity. I learn a lot, and I enjoy networking with my friends and colleagues. Understanding how to construct good questions also makes you a better test taker. I highly recommend it.” —Deana M. Lazaro, MD

“My participation in the CARE process has helped me become a more complete clinician–educator. The process of designing a question to address an important clinical issue is an excellent way to refine my medical knowledge and improve my teaching and question-writing skills at the same time. The feedback and discussion that are part of the process further enhance the educational experience.” —Christopher Wise, MD
