CME Rounds and Series activities listed in this calendar are to address learning needs of the physician groups served. Upon request, some of the activities regularly offered at Mission Hospitals (MMH) in Asheville, through clinical departments of MAHEC and Mission Hospitals, can be videoconferenced to the these locations. Most hospitals require RSVPs before scheduling their video rooms for these conferences, so please call ahead. A list of videoconference site coordinators can be found here.

Also – most county public health departments in MAHEC’s region have videoconferencing capabilities as well. If you are affiliated with a local public health department, you may wish to contact the video site coordinator at the health department (see above) to see if participation is possible.

All physicians are welcome; activities are approved for Category 1 credit. For more information, contact the MAHEC CME Program Specialist at 828-257-4491 or view and download the AMA Physicians Recognition Award Booklet, 2006 Revisions.
