CME Credit

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons designates this live activity for a maximum of 37 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ . Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

It is important for you to check in as soon as you arrive. The AAOS transcript system does not allow you to claim CME credit for any educational activities you participate in before you officially check in to the meeting.

So please remember to check in before attending any educational activities. The CME credit system is an honor system. You should claim only the number of credits for the learning activities at the Annual Meeting in which you actively participated. For example, if you attend only on Wednesday and Thursday, the maximum amount you may claim is 18 credits. The grid below outlines the number of credit hours available per day.
