AAD Recognized Category 1 CME Credit Program

Thank you for your interest in the AAD Recognized Category 1 CME Credit Program.

Since the 1970s, the Academy has offered a program to recognize individual learning activities for AAD Recognized Category 1 CME Credit. Academy members who participate in approved AAD Recognized Category 1 CME Credit activities can apply credits earned toward achieving the AAD CME Award. About 10 percent of Academy members hold an AAD CME Award. Please click here for more information about the AAD CME Award.

In addition, 85 percent of Academy members indicated in a 2007 member needs survey that it is important to them that the education programs in which they participate are approved for AAD Recognized Category 1 CME Credit. Providing your participants with AAD Recognized Category 1 CME Credit is a sure way to add value to your medical education activity and to demonstrate that your program provides education that is of value to the field of dermatology.
