Drawbacks of Oakstone CMEinfo Insider
- Price
- CMEinfo Insider is priced higher than other Oakstone products such as CMEinfo and Practical Reviews primarily due to the content depth and unlimited CME credit earning potential. However, if you were to buy all the CMEinfo products that are included within CMEinfo Insider, you would spend exceptionally more. For those looking for a specific program, CMEinfo options may be the better choice.
- Limited Number of specialties
- CMEinfo Insider does not cover as many specialties as other Oakstone products such as Practical Reviews. Some popular specialties not covered by CMEinfo Insider include Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hematology, and Oncology. However, Oakstone is continuously adding new specialties to the program. For example, Cardiology and Critical Care are in the process of being added to CMEinfo Insider soon.
