CME Credit Rules
Bariatric CME credits will be accepted from any CME activities that are focused specifically and solely on obesity, as long as the activity was approved for ACCME Category 1 credits. Credits from CME activities on obesity co-morbidities will only be approved for the number of hours that obesity treatment was the focus of the activity. An activity outline, including lecture topics and the length of each lecture must be submitted. Credits may come from in-person activities or self-study in any combination of the two to attain the 50 credits needed.
