Chicago Dermatological Society CME
The CDS offers its members continuing medical education credit through joint sponsorship with organizations accredtited through the ACCME. Stringent standards and procedures are needed to secure Category 1 accreditation. Among these are a needs analysis, identification of gaps in knowledge to be addressed by the educational activity, and learning objectives for each conference.
Prior to February 2010, the CDS worked with the Chicago Medical Society (CMS) for joint sponsorship of CME. Credits earned through the Chicago Medical Society are documented in a certificate mailed to the physician by the CMS. If you need to retrieve documentation for meetings accredited by the Chicago Medical Society, please contact them directly at: (312) 670-2550.
For meetings taking place in 2010 through June 2012, our current joint sponsor -- the Colorado Foundation for Medical Care -- used an online meeting evaluation and CME claim process which, when you complete the short form, will result in your CME certificate being sent to you by email instantly. Beginning in October 2012, certificates for credits earned will be send automatically to attendees who sign the registration sheets at the meeting.
