Your individual test results will not be recorded or used for any purpose other than statistical analysis by the Nova Scotia Medical Society. Included in this option is a short section entitled "FEEDBACK". We hope you will take this opportunity to help us improve the format of the Website as well as its content. Please take a few minutes to record your suggestions and evaluation. It can also be emailed.
