The AMA now requires that enduring materials, such as the Providence CME website, provide an assessment of the learner that measures achievement of purpose/objectives with minimum performance level required for credit. Therefore, a post-test must now be completed in order to receive AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for viewing videos on this site. A score of 3 out of 3 or 100% answered correctly will be required to receive credit. Changes are effective for all activities that occur or are released on or after July 1, 2011.

Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center is accredited by the Institute for Medical Quality/California Medical Association (IMQ/CMA) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center takes responsibility for the content, quality and scientific integrity of this CME activity.

Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center designates these enduring materials for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, per activity. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

This credit may also be applied to the CMA Certification in Continuing Medical Education.

Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center is accredited by the California Board of Registered Nursing to offer continuing education for nurses, Provider Number 285. Nurses may claim 1.0 contact hours for successfully completing each activity plus the post test.

Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center is accredited by the Dental Board of California to offer continuing education for dentists, Provider Number 4751. Dentists may claim 1.0 contact hours for successfully completing courses designated for dental credit plus the post test.

Noon conference presentations are videotaped live at the time of the event. Afterwards, they are archived and available on this site. If a presentation has been archived, its title will appear as a hyperlink; if the title is not a hyperlink, then either it has not been archived yet or the speaker declined to permit videotaping.

Please note: A recorded live activity is considered to be a separate activity from the recording that is used as the enduring material activity (2 separate CME activities)—IMQ CME Provider Conference, 5/9/08, conference notebook, p. 265.

Therefore, an individual who attends a live activity and receives credit and then views the archived activity at a later time, may receive additional credit for viewing the archived enduring material.

We hope you'll attend live activities whenever possible, and use the archived sessions to enhance your learning experience.
Please note: CME credit for videos expires one year after posting date, unless otherwise noted.
