About the Advocacy Grand Rounds
The purpose of our Advocacy Grand Rounds series is to provide physicians, medical trainees, and other health care professionals in our network with monthly trainings and courses to supplement their advocacy efforts. Members have the opportunity to obtain CME credits for specially accredited 1-hour events.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from leaders in healthcare advocacy and to begin integrating electoral advocacy into your professional journey!
The AAFP has reviewed Advocacy Grand Rounds sessions and deemed it acceptable for 1.0 Live AAFP Prescribed credits per session. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
AAFP Prescribed credit is accepted by the American Medical Association as equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 credit(s)TM toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. When applying for the AMA PRA, Prescribed credit earned must be reported as Prescribed, not as Category 1.
