If you wish to claim CE credit (i.e., obtain a certificate for AMA, APA, or Hours of Participation showing you attended 3.5 hours worth of CME), the cost to register will be $26. This cost is made up of the certificate fee, CE credentialing fee, and the payment processing fee. The cost displayed for this will show $25, but there will be $1 added at checkout, which covers the remaining fees mentioned above. This helps us continue to offer the symposium this year and for future ones. Please select General Registration if you want CE credit hours.
If you do not want CE credit and wish to only attend for learning (i.e., you will not be provided a certificate), there is no cost to attend. You can select the No-CE Credit option to register.
