CME

Award of CME credits by ACS is based on compliance of the program with the ACCME accreditation requirements and does not imply endorsement by ACS of the content, the faculty, or the sponsor of the program.

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the learner to earn credit toward the CME requirements of the American Board of Surgery’s Continuous Certification program.

Diplomates of the American Board of Surgery

By attending an ACS-accredited activity, you may choose to participate in the automatic transfer of your CME credits to the ABS via the ACCME.  The direct automatic transfer applies to all learners who have an American College of Surgeons (ACS) profile, are Diplomates of the ABS, and have provided their ABS ID and date of birth in the ACS MyCME Portal on the Board Certification page. 

If you do not already have an American College of Surgeons (ACS) profile (Learner ID), you can create one through the ACS New User Registration Form. This is a free offering for those who have enrolled in an ACS- Accredited educational activity. The ACS ID will grant you access to MyCME where you can track, manage, and send your CME Data to the ABS.

If you need assistance with creating an ACS Learner ID or are not certain if you already have one, please contact Log-In Help.

Please note, for us to be accredited by these agencies, we must adhere to their timelines. In most cases, that means submitting a final CEU report to them within 30 days of the conference end date. For us to compile and submit these reports, we must receive your completed CEU forms no later than 5 days after the conference has concluded. This allows us to check for errors and ensure that all information is submitted accurately. My recommendation is that you use your program book to record your CEU codes after each session you attend, then at the conclusion of the conference, you can use the QR code located in your program book to enter these codes and submit prior to leaving the conference site.
