Procedure for activity development
The first step is to disclose your intent to develop a CME activity to the CME office. You can do this in several ways. You can complete the Intent to Develop a CME Credited Activity (.pdf). It can be submitted through interoffice mail to 13-50 or faxed to extension 15850. The information on the form can also be submitted to the CME office via email at cme@geisinger.edu or simply stated verbally to the CME staff by calling extension 16692. Once the CME staff is aware of the activity director’s intent to develop an activity, the staff will work with him/her to complete an application for credit and proceed through the other necessary steps of planning and development.
Application for credit
The CME office will work with activity directors to complete the following application for CME credit as part of the planning process.
- CME Office Application for Category 1 Credit (.pdf). This is a fillable form. Please type directly onto the lines on this form, print it, and send via interoffice mail to zip 13-50.
