As you know we are approaching our 100th and final offering of Current Practice of Vascular Ultrasound.  Are you wondering what happens next?  Is it the end of vascular education at IAME?  In fact, this is only one more step we are taking in our ongoing program to keep in step with the practice needs and learning styles of our audience.  Beginning in the Fall of 2015 we will launch an entirely redesigned program of live conferences.  They will continue to be co-chaired by Drs.

In the last few weeks we've added 6 new courses to our online CME library.  The new courses cover topics in Doppler, abdominal imaging and musculoskeletal ultrasound.  Some are case-based programs that also award SA-CME credits. IAME's online CME library offers you the opportunity to earn over 100 CME credits.CLICK HERE to have a look!

The Physician Payments Sunshine Act of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires that payments made by industry (manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical devices) to physicians be reported in a publicly accessible database.  This has had a great impact on transactions between industry and physicians.  While honoraria and reimbursements made to CME conference speakers had been excluded from this requirement CMS, over the past few months, had proposed that they now be included in the reporting.   Those of us involved in CME had opposed this rule.

We are pleased to announce a special program for buyers of Vascular Ultrasound:  An Intensive Review (3rd edition) by Drs. John Pellerito and Joseph Polak.  Through an exclusive arrangement with Elsevier you can also get their textbook, Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography, for only $99 more.

Dr. John Hobbins will be stepping down after 15 great years as the chair of Obstetric Ultrasound in the High Risk Patient, one of the nation's leading CME conferences on obstetric ultrasound. We invite you to join us for the final offering of what has been an exemplary meeting every year. For details go to https://iame.com/conferences/hr15/ or click here.

We just rolled out a new online course called Carotid Ultrasound Case Series: What is the Diagnosis?. It takes you through a series of four clinical cases where you choose the diagnosis then compare your response to the correct one; you get a concise discussion and references for deeper study.  This interactive online course provides 1 CME credit (or one SA-CME credit for MOC). The Carotid Ultrasound Case Series is one of the many options in our vascular ultrasound education program.

Just in time for year-end CME purchases, we have reduced the price of online CME vouchers to just $9.50 per credit when you buy 10. Just choose our new 10 credit package for just $95.
