Scientific Symposium Accreditation and Hour Designation
Physicians:
This activity has been planned and implemented with the
Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council
for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint
sponsorship of Texas Medical Association and the Children's
Environmental Health Institute. The Texas Medical Association
is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical
education for physicians.
The
Texas Medical Association designates this educational activity
for a maximum of 12 hours in category 1 credit toward the
AMA Physician's Recognition Award. Each physician should
claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent
in the activity. The Texas Medical Association has designated
the topic "Ethics in Environmental Health Issues"
for 1 hour of ethics and/or professional responsibility
education.
Nurses:
We are working on obtaining approval from the Texas Nurses
Association through The University of Texas Health Science
Center at San Antonio. However, if time does not permit,
nurses can still claim 10 credits of type two from the program
for license renewal.
Social
Workers:
This education program offers up to 12 Social Work Continuing
Education Contact Hours. The University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio is an approved provider of
social work continuing education by the Texas State Board
of Social Worker Examiners.
Sanitarians:
Sanitarians may earn up to 12.25 contact hours.
