Continuing Medical Education Credits
In January 2023, the Hawaii Consortium for Continuing Medical Education stopped providing CME credits for ECHO sessions. CME credits are now managed by the Queen’s Medical Center’s CME Office.
In order to receive CME credits, participants MUST complete an evaluation at the end of each webinar. The Queen’s Medical Center’s CME Office will send all CME records out in December of each year. Participants who would like to view records earlier can email the Queen’s CME Office at cme@queens.org.
Access to previous CME credits can be found using the link below. To access your records, you must sign in or first create an account if it will be your first time. These transcripts will be available until September 2023. We ask that everyone download their CME well in advance of September.
