LIVE FROM APA IN WASHINGTON, DC
This special issue of neuroscienceCME Clinical Compass™ comes to you from the Washington, DC, bureau of CME Outfitters, where a rotating crew of 10-12 CMEO staffers and support personnel have established a command center during the 161st Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. As in years past, CMEO is collaborating with the APA in conducting numerous educational symposia on a variety of topics including schizophrenia, bipolar depression, and ADHD. Attendance at CMEO-conducted symposia has been standing room only.
It's been a busy week in Washington, DC. In addition to developing content for these symposia, CMEO's Medical Resources Group has been attending educational sessions, poster presentations, and planning meetings, as well as perusing various exhibits on the convention floor. CMEO's project management, multimedia development, and accreditation work teams are also in attendance to help ensure a memorable educational experience for symposia participants.
CMEO's show of force at the APA's Annual Meeting is a sign of our commitment to creating best-in-class continuing education for the professional neuroscience community. Thanks to the APA, its members, and all of our esteemed faculty presenters for making this week such a success. CMEO would also like to extend a special word of gratitude to Shire and Pfizer, Inc. These industry leaders demonstrated their commitment to medical education through their support for CMEO-conducted educational sessions that provided exemplary learning experiences for thousands of clinicians.
