CME Planning
CME Planning Application Process
1. It is very important to plan a CME activity 3-6 months ahead.
2. Complete the Gap Analysis and Pre-Plannig Form
. If you
have any questions about the pre-planning form do not hesitate to contact the CME
Coordinator, Evelyn Martinez (x2102).
3. When the pre-planning form is completed, the next step is to schedule a meeting with
Evelyn and complete the full CME application.
a. If you are planning a one time event the Special Activity form
is required.
b. If you are planning a RSS program the RSS form
is required.
4. Next step is to have the speaker(s) review and sign the following forms:
e. Planner Disclosure
– Signed by Planner.
f. Documentation of Receipt Review & Resolution of COI
g. If there will be commercial support then a Vendor LOA
must be signed ahead of
time as well.
5. Collect CV from speaker(s).
6. Collect power point presentation from speaker(s).
a. Physician planner should review the power point to make sure that there is no
Conflict of Interest. The Clinical Content Review and Validation form
should be
completed and signed by physician planner.
b. It is understandable that the faculty presenting does not always have this prepared
on time, however, if the presentation is not in at least a week before the event
then CME credit will not be given.
7. Once all of the forms above are completed you need to attend the CME Committee
meeting before the event takes place. The CME Committee meeting dates for 2013 are
the following:
- 2/13/2013
