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 />
