Through the Academy’s Contract Learning Project, Academy members attending select international meetings may earn CME credit for their educational efforts.

The Project requires members to identify the area(s) in which they want to increase their knowledge, describe the materials and activities they will use to accomplish that goal, and request CME credit appropriate to the amount of time they expect to spend by completing and submitting a Learning Plan (PDF 109 KB) and after the meeting, an evaluation.
