Dear MSMS Members,

Thank you for everything you are doing during the COVID-19 crisis! To recognize your efforts, the Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Affairs department may recognize hours worked responding to the COVID-19 emergency as hours toward continuing education courses or programs required for licensure.

This survey is designed to assist you with tracking these hours. A summary of your hours tracked will be provided once normal operations resume.

As a MSMS member, physicians may choose to complete this survey describing what you learned from the COVID-19 emergency and submit it to the MSMS Education Department where we will issue CME credit.  

Please only claim hours worked directly responding to the COVID 19 emergency.  This would include:  research, reading articles, listening to podcasts, discussing plans and direct clinical care of COVID 19 patients.

YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SURVEY COMPLETELY and thoroughly document what you learned or we cannot issue CME credit.  Incomplete surveys cannot be processed.

Please submit a new survey for each DAY spent responding to COVID-19.

The dates applicable are only per the Governor of Michigan’s Executive Order (currently March 17, 2020 - June 9, 2020).  Please submit your hours at your earliest convenience.

For questions, please contact Brenda Marenich at bmarenich@msms.org or 517-336-7580.
