Why CME?
Advance Medical Technology
Our CME programs provide opportunities for physicians and allied health care professionals to improve their practice via evidence-based educational activities that focus on advances in medicine, medical technology and biomedical research as well as changes in the health care environment. We also provide a structured forum for CME course planners and presenters. They can demonstrate their expertise and their commitment to advancing standards of care, and share ideas for maximizing programs’ success.
Learning Opportunities
Mega Events

Live CME
An internet live course is an online course available at a certain time on a certain date and is only available in real-time, just as if it were a course held in an auditorium. Once the event has taken place, learners may no longer participate in that activity. Examples include a livestream, webcast, or webinar. In response to COVID – 19 pandemics, all activities of CME are shifted to LIVE.
Benefits of watching a LIVE CME activity?
- No travel expenses.
- Efficient use of your time.
- No need to take off from work – just schedule your hours around.
- The LIVE CME activity.
- Counts as LIVE CME.
Regularly Scheduled Series (RSS)
Regularly scheduled series is a live activity planned as a series with multiple, ongoing sessions, e.g., offered weekly, monthly, or quarterly. A regularly scheduled series is primarily planned by and presented to the accredited organization’s professional staff and generally targets the same audience over the whole series. Examples include grand rounds, tumor boards, and morbidity and mortality conferences.
Grand Round
Medicine & Allied – Grand Rounds
Medicine & Allied – Grand Rounds is a monthly topic-and case-based presentation by medicine and allied departments. Learning objective is to provide a forum for discussion of topics that strengthen the relationship of Medicine to the broader community.
Surgery & Allied – Grand Rounds
Surgery & Allied – Grand Rounds is a monthly topic- and case-based presentation by surgery and allied departments. Learning objective is to provide a forum for discussion of topics that strengthen the relationship of Surgery to the broader community.
