Continuing Education
The APS Scientific Summit will offer continuing education (CE) for physicians, nurses, psychologists, dentists, and pharmacists. Credit will be awarded for those sessions attended and evaluated. Successful completion requires that participants register for the meeting, attend and participate, and complete an online evaluation. Participants will receive their CE/CME certificates immediately after they submit their evaluations online. These presenters and planning committee members have financial relationships to disclose.
