How many CME credits are available for the AAOS 2024 Annual Meeting?
U.S. Physicians: The AAOS designates this live activity for 23 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
International Physicians: The AMA has determined that physicians not licensed in the United States but who participate in this CME activity are eligible for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.
Allied Health Professionals: The AAOS is not accredited to offer credit for nurses and other Allied Health Professionals. To determine if activities offering AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM are acceptable for your licensing or certification needs, please contact the relevant organizations directly.
CME credit is awarded based on your check-in date. Please make sure you check in at the time of your arrival at the meeting. Claiming CME credit is based on the honor system. 1 CME = 1 hour of education. Only claim the number of CME’s/hours that you attended for education. Credits can be claimed online at aaos.org/transcripts within 2 weeks after the meeting. You must claim your CME’s for them to appear on your member transcript.
When can I submit an application for education for next year’s Annual Meeting?
Applications for the AAOS 2025 Annual Meeting will open in April 2024.
