Increase your credits: UHMS ASM 2017 poster presentations are ready to review

The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society is making it even easier to increase your CME credits online through its CME Portal.

The 2017 Annual Scientific Meeting poster presentations are now available at the UHMS Online CME Portal at the following link: www.courses-uhms.org

This access is available to everyone, not just ASM 2017 attendees. Just log in to the UHMS Online CME Portal to find the presentations. Registered 2017 ASM Participants received a coupon code to access at no charge.

You can create an account if you haven’t already registered at the UHMS Online CME Portal, then log in. You can access this program as well as many other educational opportunities. Plus, the portal is available to everyone, although UHMS members receive substantial discounts on all programs.

How it works
This educational program includes reading 90 poster presentations that were presented at the 2017 UHMS Annual Scientific Meeting in Naples, Florida. This program offers an opportunity to review the latest research and science on topics relevant to undersea medicine, hyperbaric medicine and/or wound care in a poster PDF format.

The participant is expected to answer one question for each of the 90 poster presentations. CME credit will be granted if an overall passing score is achieved. Partial credit is not offered per session, but the CME/CEU credit certificate will be provided after each session provided all conditions are met.

What’s in a name?
Becoming a FUHM is a special honor, an acknowledgment of achievement and of the high standards of expertise, practice and contribution to the field of UHM. Here’s the scoop.

Policy and purpose
Recognition as a Fellow of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine is awarded to individual members of the Society whose professional activities and standing are judged to be worthy of recognition. The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society Board of Directors confers this recognition based upon the criteria and procedures set forth in the policy document at https://www.uhms.org/members/fuhm.html

Who can be a FUHM?
Candidates considered eligible for the FUHM award will be members of the Society in good standing who have devoted significant time and effort to the practice or advancement of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine (UHM), achieved the highest level of expertise in their field, and demonstrate professional and ethical standards consistent with the aims and expectations of the UHMS.

What does it mean to be a FUHM?
Although FUHM recognition is not an academic qualification or specialty certification, FUHMs may utilize their award to demonstrate advanced achievement and expertise in Hyperbaric and/or Diving Medicine through, for instance, display of their FUHM award certificate, use of appropriate post-nominals, and inclusion of information regarding their award in CVs, résumés and analogous documents.

Once awarded, FUHM status is not automatically retained, but is contingent upon the continued good standing of the individual and membership in the UHMS. Consequently, the BOD may rescind FUHM recognition in accordance with the procedures listed.

What is the application process?
Please review all the requirements for application on the UHMS website.

• All applicants must be nominated for FUHM recognition by current FUHM awardees, BOD members, or the FUHM Committee.  
• The deadline for the nomination letter and application is January 1, 2018, with no exceptions.
• There are no self-nominations allowed.
• Once the nomination letter has been reviewed by the Committee and the nominee is determined to have met all criteria for FUHM status, an application will be sent to the nominee.
• Nominees interested in pursuing formal FUHM recognition must then submit an application requesting consideration for FUHM award no later than February 1, 2018.
• For applicants meeting criteria, letters of support and any other documentation required by the FUHM Committee will be due by March 1, 2018. The material will then be reviewed by the FUHM Committee and advanced to the Board of Directors for a final decision.
