2018 Fall OkACME Meeting: The Nuts and Bolts of the New Criterion (ACCME)

This one-day conference is designed for continuing medical education professionals in Oklahoma. It will utilize a “flipped classroom” approach, with participants receiving reading materials before the conference, allowing for more in-depth discussions during the conference.

Featured topics will include an update on maintenance of certification (MOC); implementing new Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Accreditation with Commendation criteria; commercial support; updates on new guidelines on medical marijuana and opioid prescribing requirements; and new educational techniques.

Participants will have the opportunity to network with other accredited providers and have additional time for question and answers with top CME professionals from around the state of Oklahoma and the ACCME.
