Continuing Medical Education Credit (CME)

This program has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for CME (ACCME) through joint sponsorship with the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the UB Office of the Vice President for Research.

The University of Buffalo is accredited by the ACCME to sponsor CME for physicians.

The University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences designates this program for up to10 hours in Category 1 credit toward the AMA’s Physical Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only actual hours he/she spends in educational activities.

Per ACCME standards, presenters have been asked to disclose financial relationships with any companies whose products or services they may discuss during their presentation. Off-label or experimental uses of products will be identified as such.
