2019 ASTRO Annual Meeting

Live SA-CME Sessions

Special sessions have been designated as Live Self-Assessment CME (SA-CME) sessions to help physicians and physicist attendees meet the requirements of the American Board of Radiology’s (ABR) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. The target audience for these sessions is physicians who are maintaining their ABR certification.

All Live SA-CME sessions are open to the paid meeting attendees, but only Live SA-CME ticket holders can participate in the Live SA-CME component of these sessions. Pre-registration is required and can be done on-site at the registration desk if seats are available.

Only a limited number of Live SA-CME tickets are available at these high-demand sessions, so we encourage you to register early to secure your seat at these sessions. Changes to Live SA-CME registration can be made until August 15, 2019. After this date, registration changes cannot be made online; however, if you wish to add a Live SA-CME on-site, you may do so at the registration desk prior to the session if seats are still available. Please see the full schedule of Live SA-CME below.
