INSTRUCTIONS The following case study, “Genetic Susceptibility Testing for Breast Cancer: Implications for Practitioners,” is accompanied by a continuing medical education (CME) evaluation that consists of 5 multiple-choice questions. After reading the case study, carefully consider each of the questions in the CME evaluation on page 89. Then, circle your selected answer to each question on the CME evaluation form on page 90. In order to receive one CME credit, at least 3 of the 5 questions must be answered correctly. The estimated time for this CME activity is 1 hour.
