CME Credit
The program is not yet approved for CME credit. Conference organizers plan to request 25 hours of AAPA Category I CME credit. An additional 12 hours of Category I CME will be available through the BLS/PALS/ACLS workshops.
The program will include the required Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision one-hour Category I CME on the topic of substance abuse. This lecture is scheduled for Thursday, October 3, 2024 at 6:15 pm.
CME Logging
OAPA members registered for the conference and who have completed the session evaluation for each lecture attended will have their CME hours logged automatically with the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure.
The OAPA will participate in the NCCPA CME Conference Logging System. This is an added benefit to significantly simplify the logging process with NCCPA. Participants will receive a unique link to a list of conference activities on your certification page. This will be a point-and-click approach, and credits logged this way are not subject to the NCCPA AUDIT because they are already confirmed by the OAPA.
OAPA Thursday Night Reception
Make plans to attend the OAPA Thursday Night Reception. Come and enjoy the food, drinks, and door prizes. Have fun mingling and catching up with your colleagues.
Exhibit Hall
Exhibitors will be present displaying products and services of interest. Exhibits will open at 9:00 am on Wednesday, October 2 and close at 5:00 pm. They will reopen at 8:00 am Thursday morning and will close and dismantle after the last break. Be sure and pick up your exhibitor signature cards at the registration desk so that you can get them signed and entered into a drawing for exciting gifts! Name badges must be worn in the convention center.
