individual membership, the fee is $200 per year for 6 research projects.
For medical, legal and other professionals, the fee is $2000 per

you can, but only if the Institute of Continuous Medical Education and the
scientists who performed the research are
held non-liable for any decisions or consequences that are derived from
using the information. In
addition, we cannot be responsible for any mistakes or incompleteness of
the information that we provide or are provided by the data sources that
we searched. Can

of course. However, you will
need to specifically indicate which question and answer that you intend to
follow-up and indicate the question and answer ID numbers.
The follow-up question will be counted as a new and separate
question. What
kind of questions can we ask? You can ask any questions related to healthcare and medicine including symptoms, diseases, conditions, lab test results, surgical procedures, biopsies, autopsies, medications, preventions and treatments. Occasionally, we may not be able to provide answers to certain questions. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons. 1. The question asked is not clear to us. 2. There is not enough information available for us to collect and analyze. 3. We cannot find a top expert in the particular area to perform the search and analysis and write the report. 4. We do not feel that we are qualified to perform the search and analysis on the particular topic that you asked. When this happens, we will inform you promptly and the questions asked will not be counted. It all depends on the topic.
