Workshops have limited slots to maximize opportunity for each participant to learn how to operate the equipment.

ACCREDITATION
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education ("ACCME") through the joint sponsorship of the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the CRRT, Inc. The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine designates this educational activity for a maximum of (TBA) AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award ((TBA) general session and (TBA) elective hands-on workshops) . Each physician/RN/allied professional should claim only those credits that he/she actually spent in the activity.


Cultural and Linguistic Competency
California Assembly Bill 1195 requires continuing medical education activities with patient care components to include curriculum in the subjects of cultural and linguistic competency. It is the intent of the bill, which went into effect on July 1, 2006, to encourage physicians and surgeons, CME providers in the state of California, and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to meet the cultural and linguistic concerns of a diverse patient population through appropriate professional development. The planners, speakers and authors of this CME activity have been encouraged to address issues relevant in their topic area. In addition, a variety of resources are available that address cultural and linguistic competency, some of which are included in your syllabus or handout materials. Additional resources and information about AB1195 can be found on our website at http://cme.ucsd.edu.
