CME Certificate

Participants will be issued a course completion certificate indicating the total number of CME credits awarded.  A total of 38.5 clinical Category I CME hours, are available to be awarded by the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA).  The number of clinical Category I CME hours, awarded by the AAPA, by presentation, is identified in the program agenda (available online and as Appendix B).  PA`s and providers should only claim those hours actually spent participating in the CME activity.  This CME may only be claimed on the actual days of broadcast as no current mechanism is in place to claim CME for material viewed at a later date.  Other providers may claim CME, if eligible under either of the above categories.  Credit will be given only for those hours actually viewed.
