The ACNS Annual Meeting & Courses are designed to provide a solid review of the fundamentals and the latest scientific advances in both “central” and “peripheral” clinical neurophysiology. Presentations at the Annual Meeting & Courses are given by leading experts in the field and have value for health care professionals who utilize clinical neurophysiology. Sessions include symposia, workshops, courses and Special Interest Groups, featuring didactic lectures, expert panels, debates and interactive formats. Poster presentations at the Annual Meeting highlight the latest work conducted at clinical neurophysiology centers around the country.
The Society’s educational activities are directed to clinical neurophysiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, physiatrists, neurosurgeons, trainees in these disciplines and other physicians and researchers who utilize clinical neurophysiological techniques and knowledge in the diagnosis and management of patients with disorders of the nervous system.
ACNS is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
ACNS designates the Annual Meeting & Courses for a maximum 28 AMA PRA Category I Credit(s)TM. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
ACNS is in the process of applying to ASET to allow attendees to claim ASET CEUs for attendance at the Annual Meeting & Courses. More information to come
The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology has reviewed the ACNS Annual Meeting & Courses and has approved the activity as part of a comprehensive self-assessment (SA) CME activity, which is mandated by the ABMS as a necessary component of continuing certification.
This activity awards up to 25.2 AMA PRA Category 1TM credits, of which 21 are approved as Self-Assessment CME credits.
To qualify for SA-CME credits, Annual Meeting & Course participants must:
Credits are calculated by clock hour, so a 90-minute session is worth 1.5 credits. The minimum number of SA sessions one must attend to qualify is five (5), totaling 7.5 credits. The program would allow a participant to choose up to 13 SA-designated sessions for a total of 21 SA-CME credits.
Self-assessment questions will be presented in the Annual Meeting & Courses mobile app. Additional instructions will be provided ahead of the meeting.
