PDF files will be emailed to you after you complete the survey. It could take a few weeks to receive your certificate.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you attended the two-day live Symposium on May 1-2, 2025 and already earned 10.5 PDUs, you can only earn an additional 18 PDUs through the recorded sessions and an additional 12.75 PDUs from the 17 on-demand sessions.
