Continuing Medical Education Information

   
 

Physicians:

  This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essentials and Standards of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through joint sponsorship of the Society of Interventional Radiology and the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine.

The Society of Interventional Radiology is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Society of Interventional Radiology designates this educational activity for a maximum of 33.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s). Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
   
 

Technologists:                                                                                                  

  Category A continuing education credit is pending approval by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) for the SIIM Annual Meeting Program and the Imaging Informatics Professional Symposium.

ASRT does not permit announcement or posting of approval of credits until the ASRT sends the final approval letter of the SIIM 2008 CE application. Updated information will be announced and posted on this page when it becomes available in April.

ASRT approved for technologist attendees, Category A CE credits for the entire program of the 2005, 2006, and 2007 SIIM/SCAR Annual Meetings.
   
 

Medical Physicists:     

  An application has been submitted and is pending approval from the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP) for Medical Physics Continuing Education Credit (MPCEC) for the SIIM Annual Meeting and the Imaging Informatics Professional Symposium.

CAMPEP approved for physicist attendees, Medical Physics Continuing Education Credit for the entire 2005, 2006, and 2007 SIIM/SCAR Annual Meetings.
   
  Certificates of Attendance will be available for Imaging Informatics Professionals to track continuing education eligibility requirements for the American Board of Imaging Informatics (ABII).
