Scientific Program

The Scientific Program Committee has designed an exciting program to meet the criteria for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit.  Most scientific sessions are designated for category 1 AMA PRA credit.  These categories include:  Advances in Series, Case Conferences, Courses, Focus Live, Forums, Industry-Supported Symposia, Lectures, Presidential Symposia, Scientific and Clinical Reports, Small Interactive Sessions, Symposia, and Workshops.  Other scientific sessions now listed may be reported as category 2 (e.g., New Research Poster Sessions). 

Continuing medical education sessions are open to all Annual Meeting Registrants, except for the Case Conferences, which are open to APA members only. 

View the Scientific Program Schedule (Participant Index; Topic Index), Course Brochure, New Research Posters Program as well as information on the Industry Supported Symposia being offered, under the Resources section below. Abstracts of the Scientific Program, published in the Syllabus and Proceedings Summary, will be available online shortly; summaries of teh posters, published in New Research Abstracts, are embargoed until the time of the Annual Meeting.
