Two CME Conferences Coming Up

​As we near the end of the 2010-2012 CME cycle on Dec. 31, I’m sure there are some of us who are still short of meeting our required CME credits. Consider the AOA’s Regional Osteopathic Medicine Education (ROME) conferences, coming up this spring and summer. 

  • ROME Southeast – May 4-6 in Charleston, S.C., at the Charleston Marriott
  • ROME New England – Aug 16-18 in Newport, R.I., at Hotel Viking

Both conferences are offering up to 25 AOA Category 1-A CME credits and will feature education specific to women’s health, pediatrics, geriatrics, sports medicine, OMT, and more.

Not only are these prime opportunities to earn quality CME, but they are both in beautiful locations with plenty of activities for the whole family.

Visit the ROME event page to view the conference programs and register.

Two CME Conferences Coming Up

There are so many opportunities for CME today, I don't see how a DO can not meet his or her requirement for memberhip or specialty board certification.  You can get most of your CME on the Internet today. A DO Who is ABMS Board certified only needs 10 Category 1-A credits starting this cycle.  DOs who are AOA board certified dtill need 30 1-A credits, which they can acquire throuth attending a state or specialty meeting, OMED, or through ROME meetings once or twice a year.When we are asked at the CCME for waivers, the DO frequently traveled to Europe or Hawaii to attend an AMA meeting.  We allow DOs in small specialties to use 15 AMA credits to meet half their 1-A membership requirement.  Pretty soon we'll be allowing 1-A credit for DOs who attended all AMA programs.  Why bother putting on 1-A credit if we give away membership without asking the DO at least come to AOA programs where they can meet their previous classmatesssssssss, training mates and other DOS who can help them maintain their knowledge and skills in OPP/OMT and OMM.  If a DO does no maintain thes skills/knoweledge, what makes him/her a DO?
