How to Claim Your CME
To claim CME credit for attending the Annual Assembly and/or a Preconference Course:
Step 1:
If you have not already done so, login to the AcadeME site using your AAPM&R login information.
- Forgot your login? Use AAPM&R's online Password Assistance feature to reset your password, or call the AAPM&R national office toll-free at 1-877-AAPMR99 for assistance.
- All course attendees, including non-members, have a login and ID. Do NOT create a new login through the Web site, as you will not be able to access the CME claim form for your course.

DO NOT CLICK ON THE SAVE BUTTON in the gray footer row.
Step 6:
Once you are at the screen that says "You have successfully completed the evaluation," you will be instructed to click the Save button, located in the lower right corner of the window to record your progress.
