CME FAQs
How many CME credits can I earn at Assembly?
The 2008 Scientific Assembly has been reviewed and is acceptable for up to 41.25 credits by the AAFP. Acquiring 41.25 credits requires continuous participation from Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. through Sunday at 12:00 p.m. Most members opt for periodic breaks that reduce their total number of reported credits. Participants attending CME activities receiving the AAFP evidence-based CME designation may claim double credit for the portion designated for EB CME.
How do I report my CME?

You can access this system in the way most convenient to you: dedicated CME Reporting kiosks in Registration, at any Assembly Cyber Cafe or from your own computer or laptop. This service is available when Assembly begins and for up to 6 weeks after it concludes.
