AMP 2017 Annual Meeting - Continuing Education

CME/CMLE, SAMs credit, and certificate of attendance will be available for the AMP 2017 Annual meeting.

Deadline to purchase and claim CME/CMLE or the certificate of attendance is December 31, 2017.

Deadline to purchase and claim SAMs ± CME/CMLE is January 31, 2018.

This activity ("Association for Molecular Pathology 2017 Annual Meeting") was planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint providership of American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP). The ASCP is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The ASCP designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 21.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

This continuing medical laboratory education activity is recognized by the ASCP for up to 21.5 hours of CMLE credit. ASCP CMLE credit hours are acceptable for the ASCP Board of Certification (BOC) Certification Maintenance Program (CMP)

NOTE:

Meeting participants may receive both CME and SAM credit, but it is important that applicants understand that

both types of credit cannot be claimed for the same content and
the total number of credits claimed cannot exceed 21.5 hours

By purchasing SAM credit, applicants verify that they will not claim SAM credit on any content (e.g., sessions/workshops/symposia) for which CME credit has been - or is being - claimed and vice-versa.

Receiving SAMs Certificate AFTER THE CONFERENCE

To earn SAM credit, participants must attend the entire SAM eligible session during the annual meeting (see table above for a list of SAM eligible sessions) and complete the post-activity online test with a score of 80% of higher. If you also wish to claim CME/CMLE, participants must also complete an online evaluation form.

Follow the instructions here for step-by-step instructions on how to purchase and claim SAM and/or CME for the AMP 2017 Annual Meeting.

The deadline for completing the online test for SAM credit and/or evaluations for CME/CMLE credit is January 31, 2018. This allows those who claim SAM credit for eligible content to apply for CME credit for all other eligible hours.
