Practical tip
Before it falls off your radar, submit for CME credits for the sessions you attended. To claim CME, you may flag sessions for CME using the DDW Mobile App, visit a CME kiosk on site or access the DDW CME Claim Site after the meeting. Visit the DDW website for more information on claiming CME.
Refine, refocus, and recharge
