Accreditation Statement
The New York State Society of Anesthesiologists, Inc. is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The New York State Society of Anesthesiologists, Inc. designates this educational activity for a maximum of 15.5 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™.  Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Education and Claiming CME Credit
Each course consists of multiple segments each containing a series of slides and a lecture. In order to proceed to the following segment, the previous one must be completed. During a segment, you may pause and resume. However, if you exit the browser in the middle of a segment, you will need to start at the beginning of that segment when you return to the site.

You do not need to view all segments in one sitting. Once a segment is completed it will be recorded in the database. When you login the next time, you will be directed to the next uncompleted segment in the course.

When a course is completed, learners will be directed to a quiz (three of four answers must be correct to pass). You will be given two opportunities to pass the quiz. If you do not pass, you will need to review the course again and pass the quiz to obtain CME credit. After completing a course evaluation, you will be directed to an interactive form for claiming CME credit. NYSSA will record CME credit, and you will receive confirmation of the credit earned via e-mail. CME credit earned by all participants in this CME activity is electronically reported to the American Board of Anesthesiology (if ABA number is submitted) at the beginning of each month. A CME letter of credit earned may be printed as well.
