Continuing professional development credits

The 50th Sally Letson Symposium, Neuro-ophthalmology, has been approved by the Canadian Ophthalmological Society as an accredited Group Learning Activity under Section 1 of the Maintenance of Certification Program as defined by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Physicians may claim a maximum of 19.75 hours.

Through an agreement between the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) and the American Medical Association (AMA), physicians may convert Royal College MOC credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert Royal College MOC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA web site under Earn credit for participation in international activities.

Physicians should only claim credits commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Evaluation

Evaluation is a required component of the RCPSC's MOC program. You will be asked to complete an evaluation for each session you attended in order to claim your CPD credits.

You can claim your CPD credits online. It's simple and easy to use. Evaluation stations are available onsite in the Confederation Foyer of the Ottawa Westin Hotel or online at www.sls2018.ca.
