CME CERTIFICATION

UAB Division of CME is pleased to sponsor for CME credit the following types of CME activities:

  1. Live Courses

    Live courses are CME activities in which the learners participate in person and which are planned and designated for credit as single, stand-alone events.

  2. Enduring Materials

    Enduring materials are CME activities that are printed, recorded, or computer-presented and that may be used at various times and locations.

  3. Regularly Scheduled Series (RSS)

    Examples include: Grand Rounds, Journal Clubs, Case Conferences, etc.
    Regularly Scheduled Series are CME activities that occur on a routine, ongoing basis.  RSSs are comprised of multiple sessions that meet weekly, monthly, or quarterly.

IV.      Performance Improvement Activities 
           (Call UAB Division of CME at 205-934-2687 for more information)

Examples include: Quality of Care Initiatives, etc.
Performance Improvement activities are structured, long-term processes by which physicians learn about specific performance measures, retrospectively assess their practice, and apply those measures over a useful interval and re-evaluate their performance.

V.       Internet Point-of-Care Activities
           (Call UAB Division of CME at 205-934-2687 for more information)

Examples include: Literature searches, etc.
Point-of-care activities are structured, self-directed online learning by physicians on topics immediately relevant to their practice.  Learning is driven by a reflective process in which physicians document their clinical questions, the sources of information consulted, and its application to their practice.
