PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: In completing this online education activity, we expect our participants to increase their understanding of the purpose, scope, and design of NAMCS among physicians, advanced practice providers, and other healthcare professionals.

- State the purpose of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS).
- Identify one of the strengths of National Center for Health Statistics survey designs.
- List the five different ways that NAMCS data are reported.
- Describe a reason why physician involvement is important to the accuracy of NAMCS findings.
- Identify the two policies that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uses to ensure confidentiality of data that is collected via the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS).
