Access Clinical Congress 2022 Content and Claim CME before May 1 Deadline

April 18, 2023

Content from Clinical Congress 2022 offers something for every specialty and is the perfect way for surgeons to earn Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits. Through Monday, May 1, 2023, all registered attendees have continued access to the on-demand library of educational content and the opportunity to claim credit. And registration remains open for the on-demand content! 

Did you attend the popular “Panel Sessions on Diverticulitis, Hernia Repair, or Difficult Appendicitis”? Or did you listen in to a Named Lecture from a distinguished surgical expert, like David B. Hoyt, MD, FACS, Immediate Past-Executive Director of the ACS delivering the Martin Memorial Lecture? All these and more can earn you valuable, convenient CME.

The ACS designated the In-Person (Live and On Demand) Clinical Congress for a maximum of 243.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and the Virtual (Livestreaming and On Demand) Clinical Congress for a maximum of 196.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

CME credits may be claimed following participation in a live session (either attended in-person or viewed through livestream), or through subsequent viewing of the recorded content virtually (on demand). Certain Clinical Congress 2022 sessions are not eligible for CME Credit.

Don’t forget that some Clinical Congress content can also be used as Credit to Address Regulatory Mandates, Self-Assessment Credit, and Credit to Address ACS Accreditation/Verification Requirement.

Access to content and claiming CME Credits is available until May 1, 2023.

For more information, visit the CME Credits page or contact mycme@facs.org.
