40 Nursing Contact Hours — This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by the South Carolina Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.  To receive contact hours, participants must attend all 40 hours of live instruction via ZOOM meeting; complete daily evaluations of individual sessions and the overall course summary evaluation; and complete a post course examination with a score of 70% or better.

40 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits — The South Carolina Medical Association designates this “live activity” for a maximum of 40.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.  Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.  

 

To be compliant with the AMA's "Physician's Recognition Award and Credit System," we require physicians to attest to the amount of time they are claiming credit – which should be commensurate with the extent of time they participate in a CME activity. To assure compliance, we now require all physicians attending or participating in an accredited CME activity, to complete the "contact information" portion of the evaluation and, submit evaluations electronically both daily and post course as requested.
