Continuing Medical Education (CME)

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The AMA Council on Medical Education mandates that accredited providers only offer AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ to physicians. Non-physicians will be provided a letter of attendance indicating the number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ awarded for the sessions they attended.

AASM designates these live activities for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for a maximum of 17.25 credits. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Continuing Education Credit (CECS) for Sleep Technologists

This activity has been approved by the AASM for a maximum of 17.25 CECs. Individuals should only claim those credits earned as a result of this activity.

Maintenance of Certification (MOC)

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to:
