CME Online (Feb 2023)
Dear Colleagues,
I am sending you the e-blast notification of the Category A CME activities of the month of February.
The College secretariat would like to remind all fellows, members and associates to keep their contact information up to date. This will ensure that your CME credits can be traced back to you.
I would like to draw your attention also to the point that all Category A CME organizers (professional societies, associations, studies groups etc) are required to return the attendance record of a CME activity within four weeks. The College will credit the relevant merits to the individual usually within weeks. If you find that your CME attendances have not been credited to your account, it would be helpful if you can contact the organizing body to confirm if the CME attendance has been submitted to the College already.
A new set of CME guideline was implemented on 1 January 2023. The main changes are the requirement of online CME activities and also the addition a new category of Category E CME activities that aims at enhancing the wellbeing of our fellows. Please refer to the new guidelines at the College website (Please click here).
(The information below is abstracted from the event organizers on 30 January 2023. Members and fellows are reminded to contact the enquiries listed below for last-minute alternations.)
