What is the Virtual Meeting?
The RSNA 2013 Virtual Meeting is a great complement to the live meeting at McCormick Place. Experience featured elements of RSNA 2013 on your own time, whether you are joining us in Chicago or from across the globe. With the Virtual Meeting, you can:
- Tune in to more than 40 live streaming courses, including Plenary Sessions, the Image Interpretation Session, Refresher Courses, Cases of the Day, Multisession Courses, Series Courses, and Scientific Sessions.
- Submit your diagnoses daily for Cases of the Day. Each day 14 new cases are featured. A Case of the Day consists of five cases per subspecialty area throughout the week. Answers will be revealed the following morning.
- Shop cutting-edge products, services, equipment and software from RSNA 2013 exhibitors.
- Watch live exhibitor product theater demonstrations.
- See courses and exhibitor presentations on demand through December 13.
The Virtual Meeting education program schedule will be available in mid-July.
What content is available for CME?
You can earn CME for Plenary Sessions, Refresher Courses, Cases of the Day, Multisession Courses, Series Courses, and Scientific Sessions.
AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ is awarded for participation in the live sessions on an hour-for-hour basis. In order to receive credit you must attend the entire session. The virtual system will automatically track your attendance. Each Case of the Day correct diagnosis will be awarded .5 credits.
CAMPEP Credit:
For those physicists who indicated at the time of registration that they require transfer of CME credit to CAMPEP, the CME credit will be automatically forwarded for conversion to CAMPEP.
ARRT (CE) Credit:
The RSNA, an ARRT® approved Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism Plus (RCEEM+), has not approved the virtual meeting for Category A/A+ credit for radiologic technologists and radiologist assistants due to the restrictions/guidelines set by the ARRT.
How do I receive CME credit?
The virtual system will automatically track and award the appropriate number of credits. CME certificates will be sent via email in early January 2014. CME credit is not available for on-demand sessions.
Can I earn CME credit while viewing on-demand sessions?
No credit is available for viewing the on-demand sessions, as there is no opportunity for the audience to interact with faculty members and get their questions answered.
