Regularly Scheduled Series (RSS)
I. Process for Certification of New Activity / Annual Renewal of Existing Activity
The steps for certifying or recertifying your regularly scheduled series are simple:
· Complete the CME RSS application.
· Send your completed application to Michael Schoen with the application fee.
· CME Application Fee for RSS is $500 per series per year.
We will review your application and contact you if we need more information. Upon approval, a letter acknowledging certification of your RSS will be sent to the activity 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.
If you are considering or are intending to use commercial support for your activity, we encourage you to review the revised policy for CME extramural grants issued by the UAB Office of Grants and Contracts Administration (OGCA). The revised policy requires you to submit grants for review during the PROPOSAL process, no longer only after they have been awarded. In addition, letters of agreement, regardless of their terms, are now ONLY to be routed through OCGA for signature. Please visit http://www.uab.edu/uabra/ogca/ogcapdf/OGCA_Web_CME_Grant_081908.pdf contact Courtney Miller in OCGA with any questions about this policy.
