Conflict of Interest Training (Required)

The ASPS Continuing Education (CE) Committee has created a training module titled How to Avoid a Conflict of Interest. This short learning program will provide essential information that all presenters should use to ensure that their presentation is compliant with ACCME rules.

ASPS is asking all presenters and moderators to complete this very important program prior to Plastic Surgery The Meeting.

To access the module, please click here, and use your ASPS credentials to login into the EdNet platform. Click Launch when you are ready to begin. If you do not recall your credentials, click on Forgot Password and enter your email address; please do not create a new account unless an ASPS team member instructs you to do so.

Please contact Chandra Dunbar if you have any questions.

Additional Faculty Resources

For faculty invited to record a presentation, below are links to instructions on how to create your presentation recording.

Recording Your PowerPoint Presentation

Recording Your Presentation on a MAC

Recording Your PSTM Presentation on Zoom

PS Presenter Series on the ASPS Education Network

Note: Some faculty have asked about how CME is calculated for PSTM. CME relates directly to how long a presentation runs. For example, a one-hour panel would be approved for 1 CME credit while a half-hour panel would be approved for .5 CME.

Please contact ASPS Staff at eduadmin@plasticsurgery.org if you have questions. Thank you again for your participation in Plastic Surgery The Meeting 2025.

Other Faculty Reminders

No Remote Access for Live Presentations

ASPS will not support Zoom or any other webinar software for virtual presenting at Plastic Surgery The Meeting 2025. Any faculty member who cannot be physically present in the room during their live sessions will need to pre-record their presentation and will not be able to participate in the live Q&A.

No Macintosh computers or presentations

Macintosh computer and/or Keynote presentations will not be available in educational programming rooms. All presentations created on a Macintosh computer will need to be converted to PC PowerPoint before the session starts. Staff at the Speaker Concierge room will be able to assist with the conversion.

Learning from Teaching Activity Credit

Physicians may claim an amount of AMA Physician’s Recognition Award (PRA) Category 1 Credit™ associated with preparing and presenting an original presentation at a live AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ activity. While the credit reflects the learning involved in the preparation, the amount of credit is based on presentation time. Physician presenters may now claim up to 4 credits per each 1 hour (1 credit per 15 minutes) of presentation time at eligible live activities.
