CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION CREDITS
The United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The Academy designates this educational activity for a maximum of 55 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

The Academy is approved by the American Board of Pathology to offer Self- Assessment Module (SAM) credits. SAM credits are necessary to meet the ABP requirements for Maintenance of Certification. There will be a considerable increase in the number of SAM credits available at the 2011 Annual Meeting. Many of the Companion Meeting Symposia; all of the evening Specialty Conferences; and all except a couple of the short courses will offer SAM credits, for a total of 275 SAM credits at this year's meeting. Because many of these offerings are presented in overlapping time slots, an individual may accrue a maximum number of 40 SAM credits at this one meeting. After attending the educational offering and completing an evaluation, you will be required to take and pass an online exam in order to claim SAM credits.

The Academy also jointly sponsors the programs of the following Companion Societies whose programs have been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint sponsorship of the USCAP and these societies.
