Can contact hours be given for poster presentations?
Yes. Poster presentations are different from exhibitions which cannot earn contact hours. Poster presentations are mini-lectures (there is a presenter who talks about the poster and answers questions). List each topic on the agenda or on another handout. Place the content in a 5 column format as part of a standard application. 14. Question: If our hospital submits activities all the time for approval why do we have to keep sending in our bio/CVs? Don’t you have them? If we request both CME and CE approval can’t the two of you share information? Answer: Unfortunately you are one of hundreds of groups who submit packets. Yes, your bio/CVs are kept permanently in your file but we don’t have time to locate them and xerox copies for the present application. When you send in your application it must be complete. CMEs are processed electronically by The Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG). Contact hours applications are submitted to Department of Health Education Training (DHET) in San Anton
