15 CME Credits:

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has approved the 21st Annual Restorative Medicine Conference for up to 15 CME credits. Earn 6 CME from the Live Conference & 9 CME from the recording package included with the Conference.

If you're unable to attend live, you will earn CME credits by listening to the recordings before 1/9/24.

The AAFP has reviewed 21st Annual Restorative Medicine Conference and deemed it acceptable for up to 6 Live AAFP Prescribed credits. Term of Approval is from 09/21/2023 to 09/23/2023. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

The AAFP has reviewed AARM Webinars - Enduring and deemed it acceptable for up to 9 Enduring Materials, Self-Study AAFP Prescribed credits. Term of Approval is from 01/10/2023 to 01/09/2024. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Medical Doctors, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Nurses, Medical Assistants,  Naturopathic Physicians & Chiropractic Doctors can earn up to 15 CME by attending the Conference.  

Some Conference activities do not provide CME credits. This allows speakers to discuss treatment recommendations that are not current standards of care, and review evidence that goes beyond recent clinical trials.  Thus in this conference, in addition to earning 15 CME, you'll get practical tips from additional lectures to help your patients.
