Each session involves a pre-meeting survey to asses baseline knowledge, individual practice patterns and treatment biases, as well as a
series of pre-meeting literature and articles for review. To begin the survey, please click on the link in the desired session. At the completion of the survey,
you may return to this screen to review the pre-meeting literature and articles.
Learning Objective
Participants in IML: Clinical Science will review the most relevant scientific literature, answer pre- and post-meeting surveys, and use digital interactivity to help define the content and direction of faculty presentations in the IML: Clinical Science Sections. Participants will define knowledge gaps, shape the content of expert presentations, and identify important topics for future scientific sessions.
CME Certification and Accreditation Statement
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essentials and Standards of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. The CNS is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The CNS designates this educational activity up to a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ per IML thread (pre-meeting survey, pre-meeting reading, discussion, onsite section session and post-meeting survey). Each full track of IML: Clinical Science counts for up to 2 hours of CME. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
In order to obtain CME for an IML: Clinical Session, you must participate in all four parts of the track:
- Answer the online survey. It will take you only approximately 10 minutes. The confidential survey will measure your existing knowledge, attitudes and practice, and correlate these with your training, specialty and other demographics.
- Read the key articles summarizing the evidence in the literature. The articles will provide a background for the afternoon IML meeting sessions in Orlando.
- Attend the session at the Annual Meeting in Orlando. At the session, interactive handheld technology will be in use, allowing you to answer and view the results of instant polls; query the expert discussants; and see in real time what your colleagues from around the country think about the most challenging current topics.
- Answer a quick post-meeting poll, measuring how the different educational activities did, or did not, influence your thinking. There will also be a small number of questions on the evidence paper readings, confirming your CME credits (Maximum of 2 for each IML session). CME information and accreditation information.
