2009 Annual Meeting Sessions Eligible for CME Credit (PDF)

If you have questions about the My CME program, please contact Kristus Ratliff at kratliff@aamc.org.

As part of its 2009 Annual Meeting, AAMC, in conjunction with the Harvard Medical School Department of Continuing Education, is offering My CME, a self-directed continuing medical education experience. This unique CME program will allow meeting participants to customize a meaningful education experience based on the sessions that they attend at the meeting.

To participate in the My CME program, register for the AAMC Annual Meeting and pay the additional $50 CME credit fee. You must be registered for the meeting in order to participate in the My CME program.

You will need to create a set of objectives for the meeting. It is recommended that you:

Begin to craft your objectives in advance of the meeting; you will eventually be required to put your objectives in writing.
List three to five problems or questions that you plan to address; you can list them either as learning objectives or in question form.
Be as detailed as possible.
Think about which sessions will help you answer the questions or address the problems you have identified.

192 sessions at the annual meeting will be eligible for CME credit; review a tentative list of 2009 Annual Meeting Sessions Eligible for CME Credit (PDF).

At the meeting, you will need to track which sessions you attend. At the conclusion of the meeting, you will be asked to identify how the sessions you attended helped you achieve your objectives, and list your future action steps. At the conclusion of the meeting, you will be able to submit your CME objectives, session list, evaluation and action steps entirely online. You will access the electronic form through your meeting registration record, and can complete the form either onsite at one of the internet kiosks, or when you return home after the meeting.

You will need to submit your electronic CME form no later than December 11, 2009. After you submit all your sessions, you will be able to print your certificate immediately.
