Summa Health System designates this live activity for a maximum of 7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians and nurses should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Other disciplines, including nursing, may participate in this CME activity since multiple credentialing bodies accept the AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ as equivalent CE or CEU, as long as the topic is in the applicant’s field or discipline.
