CME Supplemental Program

Check back in the coming months for the CME supplemental program.

 

Important Message for CME Participants

Participants must complete CME enrollment before or during the annual meeting. Attendees who fail to enroll at these times cannot  obtain documentation.

CME participants receive  e-mails about the CME Supplemental Program two weeks before the meeting. Information addresses the CME program, disclosure, and instructions for obtaining credits. 

SfN's annual meeting is a forum for educating physicians in the neuroscience field.

By attending CME-designated lectures, symposia, and minisymposia, physicians gain a broad overview of the field and detailed information about recent research. 

Note: Credit for poster and nanosymposium sessions is not offered.

Overview

Statement of Need
Physicians must comprehend the basic science underying clinical medicine - Neuroscience 2009 provides this opportunity. Physicians learn about up-to-date, cutting-edge Neuroscience discoveries.

Global Learning Objective
Given a patient with a neurological or psychiatric condition, physicians will integrate the most up-to-date information and research to determine the best course of action in treating the patient.

Accredidation
SfN is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
