RADIOLOGY CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION

In-Person CME Courses Return

Elissa Price, MD, Post-Graduate Education Committee chair (20182022), exercised a steady hand, steering Continuing Medical Education (CME) through the initial unpredictable stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, live CME programs are getting back on track despite the ever-morphing COVID landscape. “It was a challenge to determine when and how to resume live meetings,” Dr. Price said. “Between COVID variants, vaccination concerns, disruptions in the hotel and airline industries, and various travel restrictions, there was no obvious green light.”

Dr. Price was pleased to be able to transition from fully remote to in-person lectures. “The interest for live CME courses is there. We just want to make sure that we are making the meeting environment as safe as possible for our faculty and attendees.”

At the beginning of 2022, the department resumed its courses in Kona, Hawaii. Many attendees were grateful to meet in person, and to have the opportunity to ask questions of UCSF faculty as part of a live discussion.

Brett Elicker, MD, succeeded Dr. Price as the PostGraduate Education Committee chair in fall, 2022.
