Reading an issue of the Journal
of Correctional Health Care and completing the corresponding exam is
considered a single continuing education activity. The self-study exam
questions are based on selected articles in each issue. Content is
intended to be presented without bias of any commercial product or drug.
You may answer exam questions
relating to every article, or you may select questions relating to
specific articles. Credit (.75 hours) will be awarded for each article,
assuming 75% (3 out of 4) of the questions are answered correctly.
Grading of the exam is conducted on a confidential basis by staff of the
National Commission on Correctional Health Care.
Term of approval requires that exams must be
completed and received by NCCHC within two years of the distribution
date of this publication. Expiration dates for each issue are listed

You should consider this “honor” exam
confidential: You may not reproduce or disseminate any part of it to
others. Any evidence of collaboration in completing this exam will
result in disqualification.
