Evaluation Forms - How to Obtain CME Credit
In order to receive CME credit for attending scientific sessions, participants MUST complete and return the evaluation forms passed out at each scientific session.  Turn them in to the moderator of the session you attended. To earn MOC points, the participant must attend the MOC-designated activity and complete evaluation component with a passing score.

Nonmembers of MSMA will be charged $50 per CME credit hour and must pay for the AMA PRA Category 1 credit to receive MOC points. Nonmembers will be billed for the appropriate number of CME credit hours or may choose to join MSMA during the Annual Convention to receive CME for free and any associated MOC points.
