Therefore, from now on, in order to receive CME credit, you must be in attendance for the ENTIRE event via your own unique Zoom link that Zoom emailed to you when you registered. Then, and only then, will USC be able to award you any credit. So please be prompt and attentive to the time schedule.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but again, this is a new SDMS policy we must abide by. Thank you for understanding.
