DO registrants who view/attend the lectures and recorded content can claim up to 42 AOA Category 1-A credits. DOs can claim up to 22.5 total CME credits for hours spent in-person at the meeting, April 23-25, 2026. Up to an additional 19.5 CME credits are available for viewing for the educational sessions that you did not claim already in-person.
- Because sessions are offered concurrently (at the same time), registrants will only be allowed to claim additional credit if:

– Recorded content will be available to registrants AFTER the meeting has concluded. Please allow up to four weeks after the meeting has concluded for the content to be available through the Mobile Meeting Guide. - On Demand registration is currently NOT available for this meeting.
