How to get CME credit for Virtual Grand Rounds

Starting in January 2021, you can receive Continued Med Education (CME) credits in one of two ways.

  • “Live Credit” is available upon entry (until 8:15am) onto the ZOOM GR where your FULL NAME is clearly shown. (If logging in on your phone or other device please change your name so that is recognizable).
  • “Enduring CME Credit” is available on our previously recorded GRs up to 3 months from the presentation date. (Recordings will be posted within 24 hours of the original presentation)
    • First, click on and watch the presentation you’d like credit for.
    • Then click the blue “Obtain Enduring CME Credit” link to the right of the recording link.
    • You will be taken to a login page (first time users will need to create a login/password). After self-enrolling into the specific talk, you’ll
      complete an attestation or answer question(s) to claim your Enduring CME Credit.
