Were You Unable to Attend the 2016 AAAAI Annual Meeting? Order the Virtual Annual Meeting
Since it is impossible for attendees to visit every session during the Annual Meeting, the AAAAI offers select recordings from the live meeting through the Virtual Annual Meeting. Once you have purchased the Virtual Annual Meeting, the recordings can be viewed in two ways: by streaming online or by downloading MP4 files to save to your preferred device for easy, offline access.
The Virtual Annual Meeting has sessions ranging from plenaries to the keynote to workshops, symposia and pro/con debates. The recordings are a convenient resource for training students, residents and office staff. In addition, they are an excellent platform to prepare for the certification or recertification exams and for satisfying Maintenance of Certification requirements.
Physicians can earn up to 69.75 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM and nurses can earn up to 69.75 contact hours. Credit must be claimed by May 31, 2018. Order your copy in the AAAAI Education Center at education.aaaai.org/2016VAM.
