Everything you need to know

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).

The Aesthetic Society is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Aesthetic Society designates this live activity for a maximum of 32.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

All faculty attending the meeting are required to register for the meeting. Faculty, as with The Aesthetic Society Board of Directors and Education Commission members, who wish to attend the scientific sessions and social functions, must pay full registration fees.

If you are only attending to present and do not plan on attending the remainder of the meeting and/or if you are unsure about your eligibility to register for the meeting, please contact Tiffany Weckerly at [email protected]

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), as our accrediting organization, requires all educational activities to be based upon measurable needs or deficiencies ("practice gaps") in the physician's practice. As a moderator or presenter, the Aesthetic Society depends on you to help define these practice gaps as they relate to your panel topic. We ask that you address the specific practice gaps presented by the panelists. We require all panel content to be accurate, current, scientifically based and objectively presented.

Participation in educational programs will not be allowed without this disclosure. Click here to complete your disclosure if you have not already done so. All faculty are also required to verbally disclose your financial relationships or state Nothing to Disclose at the start of your presentation.

• Presentation Review: As an accredited organization of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), our accreditation is important as we strive to plan activities that meet the ACCME's expectations and standards. Because we are responsible for ensuring that the content of our CME activities is presented with accurate, balanced, scientifically justified recommendations that serve the needs of patients and not the interest of industry, we will need to review all presentations prior to the meeting. If you have not done so already, please send your presentation to Val Murchison at [email protected]
