New Site Design

10/03/11

You may notice that our site has changed in appearance. We are still offering the same great programs that you've come to expect, but with a fresh new design. Students can access their programs under their assigned tab, faculty can learn about how to make the site personalized for their schools, and the resources are still available for further learning.

We've changed our name, but we're still providing high quality medical learning and clinical skills training for medical students and professionals. All former links will automatically redirect. Be sure to bookmark our new URL today!

Big Changes!

05/24/10

We're happy to welcome lots of new users to the Larasig site! As part of our continuing upgrades to our educational projects, we've consolidated the content from TobaccoCME, AlcoholCME, GeneticSolutions, EndingSuicide, and AddictionCME into one single, more powerful, portal.

You'll notice that the interface has changed a bit, we hope for the better! The site will be in some flux for the next few days as we tweak the new interface here and there, so we hope you'll stay a bit patient with us as little things change here and there.

If you're a user coming from one of our established relationships on either GeneticSolutions or TobaccoCME, then you should find all the courses you expect up and running right now! If you're looking for coursework from some of the other sites, we hope to have them up and configured in the new system very soon. If you're interested in setting up a customized program for a group of users, please feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to help!
