St. Joseph Mercy Health System is accredited by the Michigan State Medical Society to provide continuing medical education for physicians, and is accredited at ACCME's highest level, Accreditation with Commendation. Credits are awarded to physicians, and recognizable (subject to their own credentialing requirements) for physician assistants, nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives. Some state boards recognize these credits for pharmacists, optometrists or certified registered nurse anesthetists. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
13 (May or June) or 15 (October) Credit Hour Certificate of Attendance approved-- Participants must provide birth date during registration or otherwise, and must claim credits within 60 days after event.
St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor also can provide a comparable Certificate of Attendance to some participants in these activities from professions such as social work for which the CME / CPEU / CNE credits described on this page may not apply directly. Participants should confirm that their professional body would accept this (or would instead accept the AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ certificate described above). Certificate of Attendance for these conference activities would reflect a maximum of 13 (for May or June) or 15 (for October) credits and contact hours for full participation.
(AAFP pending 15 credits for October) Application for CME credit has been filed with the American Academy of Family Physicians. Determination of credit is pending.
CNE (Continuing Nursing Education): 13.25 contact hours for the May conference; 13 contact hours for the June conference; 15 contact hours for the October conference.
CNE: The May 21-22, June 25-26 and October 22-23, 2022 P-POD Conference nursing continuing professional development activities have been approved by Virginia Nurses Assn., an accredited approver by American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation. Participation in the full conference is equivalent to 13.25 contact hours for May, 13 contact hours for June, and 15 contact hours for October, and contact hours will be awarded commensurate with your actual participation in this activity.

**- The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and Commission on Dietetic Registration are not responsible for the provider’s interpretation of the Academy/CDR Code of Ethics for the Nutrition and Dietetics Profession or its enforcement as it relates to the scenarios and content presented in this activity.]

ABLM, for in-person conferences only: 13 hours (May or June) or 15 hours (October) approved for In-person CME requirement in Lifestyle Medicine, for ABLM/ACLM Diplomate credentialing and examination.
ABLM, for in-person and virtual conferences: 13 hours (May or June) or 15 hours (October) approved for Maintenance of Certification for Diplomates of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine and Diplomates of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
The American Board of Lifestyle Medicine has now approved every P-POD Conference since 2018 for satisfying its 10-hour "In-person CME" prerequisite for candidates for its annual Lifestyle Medicine certifying examination (credentialing for Diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine or Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, as applicable to physicians, nurses, dietitians and other practitioners/professionals). That exam for 2022 is scheduled for dates beginning Nov. 26, and ABLM's rigid deadline to register for it is Sept. 30. ABLM specifically recognizes for its credentialing purposes the 13 (for May or June) or 15 (for October) AMA PRA Category 1 CME Credits™ approved for the three IN-PERSON (not virtual-option) P-POD conferences in 2022.
P-POD is producing three of the seven U.S. conferences qualified for the ABLM/ACLM examination's In-person CME prerequisite, as described above. For the first two COVID-19 years 2020 and 2021, ABLM made an emergency exception, and allowed virtual conferences to meet its In-person CME requirement, but for 2022 it has very clearly and specifically returned to the normal policies of honoring fully-qualified in-person conferences only.
For persons who are already Lifestyle Medicine Diplomates: If you are using the Maintenance of Certification plan that requires 30 Continuing Medical Education credits in the 5 years after your credentialing, then the CME credits approved for ALL P-POD Conferences (in-person OR virtual) will count toward your 30 hour requirement. You may view detailed info about the three P-POD Lifestyle Medicine conferences HERE (also reachable always at lifestylemed.p-pod.org).
