Multiple copies of this brochure are mailed to interested parties, including department chairs at medical centers for distribution to faculty. Additionally, all program information is listed on this web site. 

Yes. CME/CEU credit has been given in the past. However, for each conference this credit must be applied for, but due to accreditation standards we cannot refer to any activity as having CME/CEU credit until it is formally approved. Since the numbers have varied from year to year, you can get more information from Laura Werts (laura.werts@cchmc.org), 513-636-1826.

There is no CME/CEU credit available for the Graduate Certificate in Medical Education or the Master of Education program for physicians and healthcare professionals.
