CDS CME

The CDS offers its members Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit through joint sponsorship with organizations accredited through the ACCME.  Stringent standards and procedures are needed to secure Category 1 accreditation.  Among these are a needs analysis, identification of gaps in knowledge to be addressed by the educational activity and learning objectives for each conference.

Credits earned through CDS Conferences are documented in a link sent by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM).  Evaluations are emailed from CDS directly after each monthly Conference.

CME Credit

CDS meetings are accredited for Category 1 continuing medical education credits.

Please note that it is the responsibility of each doctor to maintain their own CME records.  The Chicago Dermatological Society does not maintain a transcript of credits awarded.
