I am a nurse. Does attendance at a CME event count toward continuing education requirements for my license? 

Yes. Events designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits(TM) convert to CE contact hours required by the Ohio Board of nursing.​ Always confirm with your board, for their approved education requirements.

Attendance certificates are distributed by Medical Staff Services. Please email TCH.MedStaff@TheChristHospital.com​ to request a copy of your certificate within 2 weeks of the activity.
