*Please note - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all CME events are strongly encouraged and preferred to be held virtually. If it is a necessity that an educational activity be held in person, the activity must go through an initial approval process:

This process is based on IU and CDC guidelines and recommendations for in-person gatherings. Those making requests should allow 10 days for review process and decision. For external clients, this process will be facilitated through CME through Kim Denny as part of the application process.
