Technology solutions featured include a number of free or inexpensive solutions.
Finally, in the ACCME’s recent communication regarding the PARS annual reporting extension, updated FAQs were made available regarding activity reporting, as the format of activities may change.

This is a unique time for everyone, and the AOE team is poised to help navigate CME/CE solutions as you look to keep your learners informed and updated with needed medical education.
