CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME)

The Hanley Center for Health Leadership and Education designates this live activity for a maximum of 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. 

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the Hanley Center for Health Leadership and Education and NHMS. The Hanley Center for Health Leadership and Education is accredited by the Maine Medical Association Committee on Continuing Medical Education and Accreditation to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

This includes 3 credits that are compliant with New Hampshire RSA 318-B:40 - opioid education requirement.  


CODE OF CONDUCT AND PROFESSIONALISM

The NHMS believes in fostering a safe and respectful environment for professional and educational dialogue, understanding that this sometimes means bringing challenging topics forward. The Board expects that all attendees maintain an atmosphere of professionalism and respect for the speakers and for other attendees. Out of respect for the speakers who have requested that their presentation be made available only to attendees at the live event, photography and recording of some sessions will be prohibited. The NHMS Board believes that creating such an environment requires a commitment from each of us.
