title: Self-assessment program blood conservation and the management of perioperative blood transfusions in a patient undergoing major vascular surgery: A self-assessment program.
abstract: Members of the CAS and subscribers to the CJA are first invited to read the introduction that follows and the articles cited in the bibliography to prepare for the Self-Assessment Program. The reader should then go to the Journal's website (www.cja-jca.org) for the Problem Based Learning session. Completion of the Self-Assessment Program will entitle subscribers to claim ten hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) under section 3 of CPD options, for a total of 20 Maintenance of Certification credits (note that section 3 hours are not limited to a maximum number of credits per five-year period). There is no requirement to succeed: the goal of participating is to define potential areas for improvement.
