Dear Colleagues,
I am sending you the e-blast notification of Category A CME activities of the month of November.
2023 Annual Scientific Meeting (2 – 3 December 2023)
You are cordially invited to attend the 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting of the College on 2nd and 3rd December 2023. It will be held at the HKAM Building. The College will also hold the AGM, Conferment Ceremony and the Annual Dinner on the evening of 2 December 2023.
We are very honoured to have paediatric experts from Guangdong and Macao to come to speak to us at the ASM. There will be three plenary talks by Professor Zhang Zhiwei, Dr Lui Kin Man and Professor Simon Lam on 2 December 2023. The winners of the Best Dissertation and Best Young Investigator Prizes will present their studies. The next morning we will have four symposiums on Haematology & Oncology, Neonatology, Paediatric Training and the sharing of some intriguing clinical cases.
Please register for this important CME event at the end of 2023 and get to make acquaintance with our neighbours. Just use your mobile phone to scan the QR code below to register. The Scientific Programme is available here. It is also posted on the College website (www.paediatrician.org.hk).
Do you know your CME requirement?
We often remember we need to have 90 CME points for a three-year CME cycle. Some of us may think that it is all that is required.
In fact, a fellow is required to gather 30 points from Category A activities, namely the local, regional and international educational activities every three years One is also required to accumulate 15 active CME points from any category. Active points are gained by giving talks, doing quizzes from journals, self-study and teaching etc. For some categories there is a maximum number of points you can gain each cycle.
If you want to know more, please visit the CME Guidelines (http://www.paediatrician.org.hk/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=2258&Itemid=66) page.
