The steps for certifying a live event or enduring material are simple:

• Complete the CME live event/enduring materials application.
• Send completed application to Marsetta Flowers
• Contact the CME office at 205-934-2687 for applicable fees
  

We will review the application and contact you if we need more information. Upon approval, a letter acknowledging certification of your activity will be sent to the course director, along with a copy to the person listed as "Contact" on the application.

Maintaining certification is an ongoing partnership.  Once your activity has been approved for CME credit, we will work with you to establish a system to maintain appropriate records for our files and provide you assistance where needed.

Note: If you are considering or intending to solicit commercial support (e.g., pharmaceutical or medical supply company) funding for your educational activity, please review the guidelines outlined by the Commercial Support Flowchart that has been developed by the UAB Division of Continuing Medical Education (see link to this document in the "Resources" section below). In order to comply with all relevant rules, regulations and guidelines, this activity must proceed in a specific step-wise fashion. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 205-934-2687.
