Registering
Activities
Use online application
or download the Application
Form to submit a hard copy version to the CME Center for
applying for registration of CME activities. The form consists
of two sections: I. Administration Details and II. Academic
Details. Information on the duration (in hours) and the type
of individual sessions is essential for CME/CPD credits to be
calculated.
Printouts of the online form are not accepted, as the form is
likely to be incomplete. We request CME/CPD organizers to use
the online format.
The
maximum number of credits that would be allocated to a single
CME/CPD activity (e.g. symposium, conference, seminar, training
program, etc.) is 25 credits.
When
an activity is completed...
The CME organizer is expected to maintain a list of the participants
who completed it satisfactorily (Attendance
at Program - Form III). The CME Center also requires an
Evaluation Report to be prepared. (Sample evaluation forms for
preparing an Evaluation Report - Form
IVa, Form IVb).
