Thank you for participating in our 19th CME course! We are delighted to welcome you to Boston for a fun, active, and educational three days! We trust you will enjoy the course, find it practical and informative, and have ample opportunity to interact with the faculty and medical education colleagues from around the world. We would very much like to get to know all of our course participants so we encourage you to meet the course directors, ask questions, and offer feedback.
Below is general information about the course.
Registration Documents: At registration, you received your name badge, tent card, and a course syllabus. Pleaseremember to wear your name badge at all times during the course and be sure to bring your tent card to all sessions. The course syllabus is also available electronically at: https://www.principlesofmeded.com/
This site will be available to you only until Friday, January 31, 2024. We will be recycling the paper copies of the syllabus at the end of the course. Please feel free to leave your paper syllabus at the registration desk for recycling if you do not want to take it.
Course Evaluations and Credit: This course has been approved for up to 22.25 hours of Category 1 credits toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award and up to 22.25 credits by the American Academy of Family Physicians. In order to receive your CME credits and certificate, Harvard Medical School will email you a link to a survey to evaluate the sessions you have attended. We encourage you to complete appropriate portions of the evaluation as the course progresses. The electronic evaluation tracks the responses by computer so attendees must log in using the same computer on a daily basis and cannot share computers with other attendees. Once you have completed the online evaluation, HMS will email the CME certificate to you (please allow four weeks for processing). The evaluation must be completed for CME credit and certificate.
The evaluation is a critical component of our program planning. We not only read and review every evaluation returned, but also provide any specific comments made about topics and speakers to the appropriate people. If you do not receive the email from HMS, please contact HMS DCE office at the following address: ceprograms@hms.harvard.edu. Include your name, course number 732631-2402a, and the email address you wish to use for the evaluation link.
Plenary Sessions: All plenary sessions will take place in the Oval Room. The syllabus materials for these sessions are all located in the blue section of the syllabus.
Teaching Methods Workshops: You will rotate from workshop to workshop according to the individual conference schedule you were given at registration. You are scheduled to attend all five workshops and may not switch workshop sessions. The syllabus materials are all located in the green section of the syllabus.
Message Board: Please feel free to leave messages for one another at the registration desk.
Guests: Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate additional guests at any of the events.
Disclosures: Please refer to the Disclosure Statement page of the syllabus for acknowledgments and faculty disclosures.

Neither course directors nor the hotel are responsible for any lost or stolen items.
Schedule: We will make every effort to stay on time for each session. Please be sure to return to the meeting rooms promptly so we can maintain our schedule.
Room Temperature: The room temperature will be set at approximately 68º F. If you feel the temperature is uncomfortable, please advise the course directors or the meeting planners at the course registration desk. Please wear layers for optimum comfort.
