The Information We Collect and How We Use the Information
Registration Form
In order to participate in the Lyme Disease Case Study Course visitors must fill out a registration form. This form asks for information such as your name, title, affiliation, and e-mail address. This information is collected so that we can contact you about the course and so that we have a record of who has completed the CME activity.
The information collected on the registration form will not be shared or sold to any individual or organization.
Pre-Test and Post-Test Results
Pre-Test and Post-Test results are accessible only to the person who takes the test and IDSA staff. The result for each question, without any personally identifiable information attached, is used to calculate the normative data so that users can see how they have done on the tests in comparison to others who have taken the test.
Test results without personally identifiable information attached will be used by IDSA to evaluate the effectiveness of the course.
Program Evaluation Form
Users are required to fill out a program evaluation before printing out the Certificate of Completion. The form collects information about the user's experience with the program. The information collected on this form will be used internally to evaluate the effectiveness of the course. IDSA will not store personally identifiable information in association with the program evaluation.
