CONTINUING EDUCATION

Are you looking for CE value? San Antonio’s 2011 Conference offers varied in-depth Pre-Conference Workshops; 10 Communities of Practice networking and breakout sessions; 12 clinical symposia; 3 hospital business symposia; 3 general sessions; 34 poster presentations; and 44 concurrent sessions. CMSA designs its programs to ensure CE activities are independent and free of commercial bias. The following is a list of Certifying Bodies from which CMSA typically solicits program approval (subject to change). Once the conference program has been finalized and submitted for approval to the Certifying Bodies, CMSA will release its "CE Recap Worksheet" which will identify the number of credits available for each conference session.

Submit Your Evaluations Online to Earn Continuing Education Credits

Program evaluation and continuing education credit requests are available online only at http://ceu.experient-inc.com/cms111/. Attendees can access the site from the onsite Evaluation Center, computers in the onsite Cyber Cafe, or any other Internet-enabled computer. The system requires your 2011 Conference Registration ID Number and your Last Name in order to access the session and overall conference evaluations.

After initially entering the system, you will be asked to select which credentialing bodies or continuing education credit types for which you will be requesting CEs. If necessary, this can easily be modified later. Then, complete the evaluations for the sessions and any fee-based pre-conference workshops you may have attended. Once finished completing ALL of your evaluations for the entire conference offerings, you can proceed to print out your conference Continuing Education Certificate.  We ask that you complete the Overall Conference Evaluation, allowing us to tailor the program contents in 2012

Completion of your evaluations is due by September 30, 2011.

Participants will be able to download their CME Certificate or Certificate of Participation immediately after submitting their evaluation.
