Continuing Education Credit
Continuing Education Credit information will be located in the front of each Postgraduate Course syllabus and the
Final Program.
CME This symbol indicates a postgraduate course or session that qualifies for CME credit.
Continuing education/continuing medical education credit is not offered during meals, breaks, receptions, training
sessions, satellite meetings or any private group meeting (e.g., council meetings, invitation-only meetings, editorial
board meetings, etc.). In addition, CME credit is not offered during poster sessions, oral abstract presentations or
roundtable luncheon discussions.
Continuing medical education is a lifelong learning modality enabling physicians to remain current with medical
advances. The goal of AAGL is to sponsor educational activities that provide learners with the tools needed to
practice the best medicine and provide the best, most current care to patients.
As an accredited CME provider, AAGL adheres to the 2006 ACCME criteria. CME activities must address practice or
performance gaps in physician knowledge, competence or performance in practice.
AAGL must not only obtain complete disclosure of commercial and financial relationships pertaining to gynecologic
medicine but also resolve any perceived conflicts of interest. All postgraduate course faculty members and all
organizers, moderators and speakers in the Scientific Program have completed disclosures of financial relationships
with manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, laboratory supplies and medical devices and with commercial providers of
medically-related services. The disclosures were reviewed by the Program Development Committee, which resolved
perceived conflicts of interest.
The next few years will be an exciting time for the community of gynecologic medicine practitioners as we adapt to the
changing environment of healthcare and CME. The American Medical Association is advancing a transition of CME
from a system of credits based on hours of attendance to a system based on improvement in physician performance.
