Topic<br />

Discussion Action<br />

Minutes Minutes from the last meeting were previously approved <strong>and</strong> distributed to Drs.<br />

Torti <strong>and</strong> Rose.<br />

Office update Dr. Huey notified the committee that the (APA II) position in the CME <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

was frozen due to financial deficits at the Health Center. He noted that it was<br />

an unfortunate set <strong>of</strong> circumstances in that the position was terminated after the<br />

position had been <strong>of</strong>fered <strong>and</strong> accepted. The CME <strong>of</strong>fice is optimistic that this<br />

is a temporary setback.<br />

Journal-based CME<br />

update<br />

Yearly Activity<br />

Director’s Questionnaire<br />

Due to the circumstances, it was noted that though temporary, the CME <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

will need to use discretion in what additional projects it undertakes.<br />

Dr. Huey updated the committee as to the current participation <strong>of</strong> the Journal-<br />

Based CME program: as <strong>of</strong> 3/1/13 there were 283 participants. It was also<br />

noted that the feedback regarding the program is extremely positive (i.e.,<br />

widespread appreciation in having the 5 required areas for CT physician<br />

relicensure available 24/7 via internet access).<br />

With the CME <strong>of</strong>fice needing to focus its efforts on day-to-day procedures, Dr.<br />

Huey noted that exp<strong>and</strong>ing the Journal-Based CME into additional topic areas,<br />

will need to temporarily be delayed.<br />

The revised Activity Directors <strong>and</strong> Administrative Staff questionnaires were<br />

given a final review. Both were approved for distribution.<br />

In the near future, the CME <strong>of</strong>fice will look to create the questionnaire<br />

electronically for future distribution.<br />

Next meeting The next CCCME meeting will be held on May 7, 2013.<br />
