and alarm conditions. Workshops have limited slots to maximize opportunity for
each participant to learn how to operate the equipment. These workshops are
a unique opportunity to acquire or refresh skills with different CRRT 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.
SOCIAL AND ELECTIVE ACTIVITIES
