The ACUC 2011 Planning Committee would like to know if CME availability is important to you for this conference. As you are aware, we provided CME for the ACUC 2008 and 2010.
Please let us know ASAP on its importance to you by responding to this thread on a scale of 1 to 10.
Thanks,
Jim

3
(I assume 10 means extremely important)
I appreciated the CME from previous conference, but wasn't a requirement for me to attend as the trip was still deductible as a business expense anyway. However I wonder how many people attended on money from a group practice that specified the conference had to include CME. Probably not many.

Jim, I am not sure how to answer this since CME IS important to me, and it would make the conference more valuable. So put me as an "2".
On the other hand, I will be there, CME or no. Does that mean it isn't so important?

Jim,
Maybe everyone is polled out, but it is much easier to track the data with a poll. Let me know if you want to go that route.
I would say zero for me.

1 = CME is not at all important in your decision to attend ACUC. You would attend ACUC even if the sessions did not qualify for any CME.
10 = Cetting CME hours is critical in your decision to attend ACUC. You would NOT attend ACUC unless you could receive some CME.

Based on the above, it looks like I need to change my vote. Bert, please delete my "8" above.

This is very slightly off topic, but just want to remind everyone that if you have your own subscription to UpToDate you get CME every time you look something up. I get well over 200 hrs a year just by doing what I was going to do anyway. It really eases the pressure of having to travel to conferences.

It really eases the pressure of having to travel to conferences. David, I concur. Uptodate is the main reason I don't require CME from ACUC. Uptodate is not cheap (like $400 a year), but when you consider the benefit to your patients and cost savings by skipping a week conference out of town it is well worth it. Now I only do 2-3 day conferences, like ACUC. ...Ken

UpToDate is a "must have" website. Not only is it extremely well done, but I have so many CMEs, I don't know what to do with them. That's why I don't like or need to pick away at conferences and Grand Rounds. I currently have 250 and counting.

I am going to close this thread as it is no longer relevant given the fact that CME will be a part of the ACUC and the poll seems to have lost speed quickly.
