Not all of the sessions at CROI offer CME credits, such as sessions that focus on submitted science (ie, oral abstract sessions, themed discussions). Sessions that do offer credits are workshops, plenaries, symposia, the opening session, and meet-the-luminaries.

Overall Learning Objectives

After participating in CROI 2024, participants will be able to describe the following as they relate to research in HIV, hepatitis viruses, SARS-CoV-2, and other viral infections and their related conditions:

  • Basic-science and clinical research advances
  • The most recent findings from clinical trials and the implications of these data for state-of-the-art treatment and prevention strategies
  • Describe current epidemiologic data on the prevalence of infection, transmission, treatment, and linkage to and retention in care in populations worldwide; the implications of these data for public-health program planning; and current advances in biobehavioral prevention

Financial Relationships with Ineligible Companies

In the interest of maintaining the independence of its continuing medical education (CME) activities, the International Antiviral Society–USA (IAS–USA) requires all persons with control of educational content (eg, faculty, Scientific Leadership Board, Governance Board, and program planner) to disclose any financial relationships with ineligible companies (previously defined as “commercial interests”) that they have had within the past 24 months. Any real or apparent conflicts of interest of those parties are resolved and mitigated prior to the CME activity being delivered. Individuals who refuse to disclose financial interests may not participate in IAS–USA CME activities.  

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) defines ineligible companies as “those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.”

All financial relationships with ineligible companies for those in control of CME content will be available in the Program and Information Guide/Abstract Book prior to the start of the conference. Information will also be included at the beginning of each presentation.

Continuing Medical Education Credits

The International Antiviral Society–USA (IAS–USA) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The IAS–USA designates this blended activity for a maximum of 16 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

ABIM MOC Points

ABIM MOCSuccessful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 16 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. IAS-USA, the CME activity provider, will submit your participant information (eg, name, date of birth, activity credits earned, ABIM MOC number) to ABIM through the PARS system for the purpose of reporting ABIM MOC credits.
