Are you looking for CME credits?
(Also called CE, CEU or CE hours.)
More than 40 Tristate experts (from IN, KY, IL) discuss wellness across the lifespan each August.
Many healthcare professionals attending earn CME credits (continuing medical education), but a good portion of those present are not healthcare professionals; they are community members who are pro-active about their physical, financial, social, and emotional health.

Good to know ... wish I could get there, but will look for reports online. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteTom: Thanks for the comment. As mentioned above, this will be my fourth year attending. There may be something similar in your area. Contact the Association of Area Aging near you. I used to attend a similar event in Wichita, KS. There is great energy at these events. And you might end up being a speaker one year once your local organizers learn of your expertise.
