2017 Objectives & Accreditation

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the
accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council
for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint
providership of the University of Colorado School of Medicine and
Jackson Hole Seminars. The University of Colorado School of Medicine
is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for
physicians.

The University of Colorado School of Medicine designates this live
activity for a maximum of 30.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent
of their participation in the activity.
