from this American College of Cardiology (ACC) educational course will he
lp us to better target ACC educational initiatives and efforts to support
you and your future learning needs. In order to receive your CME\,
CNE\, CPE\, PA\, and/or MOC certificate or certificate of attend
ance\, and to claim your MOC points you must complete a brief evaluation s
urvey online. This survey will be sent via email and will include a direct
link to the survey. We strongly recommend that evaluations and credit cla
ims be submitted within one month of the course\, but
ACC certifies each course only for the credit types f or which the activity meets accreditor requirements. If your profession's credit type is not listed for a given course\, you may still claim a Certi ficate of Participation. This certificate includes the AMA Credit Designat ion Statement that many boards and professional organizations use to award equivalent credit upon learner submission.
\nOnce yo u complete the course evaluation\, you will be able to generate either you r profession's designated certificate (if available) or a Certificate of P articipation (COP). In both cases\, you must use that certificate to self- report credit to your licensing or certifying body.
\nBefore enrolling in a course\, you should confirm with your own licensing or certification board that they accept AMA credit as an equivalent credi t towards your professional requirements.
