Accreditation & CME

Neurology Grand Rounds, a weekly one-hour continuing medical educational (CME) seminar held on Thursdays, covers a wide variety of clinical and basic science topics. From September through June, Grand Rounds consists of special lectures from faculty and guest speakers. Faculty and guest speakers, usually nationally recognized in their field of expertise, discuss the latest clinical and bench research developments.

During the months of July and August, Grand Rounds conducts a Summer Lectures Series which emphasizes basic lectures in the neurosciences that are held for two hours each Thursday.

Responsibility for case presentations is met by the Neurology residents while rotating with the four affiliated hospitals. The presentations are usually didactic in format with residents reviewing the literature and preparing handouts. Grand Rounds are recorded for residents who cannot attend. A file is kept of conference handouts. A core syllabus of clinical and basic science seminars are scheduled as a three-year series, so that each resident is exposed to a wide ranging set of topics during their three year residency.

The University of Washington School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The Neurology Education Series has been reviewed and is approved for a maximum of 100 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits(tm) for July 6, 2022- June 29, 2023. Each session is worth 1.0 credit. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Please note:

  • The 100 maximum CME credits are for the entire July 2022 – June 2023 Neurology Education Series (Grand Rounds and Neurology Lecture Series combined). You cannot receive CME credit by viewing archived lectures.
  • CME credit is only available to participants who sign-in at the lecture or log-in and watch the web-cast, and pay the appropriate fee to the UW CME office at the end of the academic year.
  • The web-cast viewing option is only available for Grand Rounds and the Neurology Lecture Series.
