Self-Assessment CME
Imaging in Israel-2017 is qualified by the American Board of Radiology in meeting the criteria for self-assessment toward the purpose of fulfilling requirements in the ABR Maintenance of Certification Program.
The following SAM credits available:
Body Imaging Module: 5 SAM Credits. Click to see ABR Verification
Breast Imaging Module: 3 SAM Credits. Click to see ABR Verification
MSK Imaging Module: 5 SAM Credits. Click to see ABR Verification
Neuroradiology Module: 6 SAM Credits. Click to see ABR Verification
This course will offer Self-Assessment CME credits (SA-CME or SAM): All SAM's are included with the registration fee.
As of January 1, 2017, American Board of Radiology (ABR) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part 2 requirements: To satisfy MOC Part 2, the ABR requires 75 CME credits every three years, at least 25 of which must be credits from Self-Assessment CME (SA-CME or SAM) activities. Podium presentations with a post-session assessment instrument qualify as SA-CME. Some organizations call these "SA-CME,” and others call them “SAM's.” Both terms are equivalent, with the number of credits determined by the ACCME or an ACCME-accredited category 1 CME provider.
