To register for Continuing Medical Education Credits you must purchase a Continuing Education Credit Voucher along with your ticket. This voucher costs $25 dollars (flat fee per discipline regardless of the number of credits for which you are eligible) and must be exchanged at the venue for your credit paperwork. If you are eligible for more than one discipline (medicine and religion, for example) you would need to purchase two vouchers if you wanted to receive credit in both fields.

How to add a Continuing Education Voucher:

Once you have added your conference ticket(s) to your shopping cart there is a link for Continuing Education Credit (see illustration below). Click on that link and add the appropriate number of vouchers to your shopping cart. Remember, each person requires only one voucher unless you are looking to receive credits in multiple fields. For example: if you are purchasing three tickets to the event, and two of the attendees are eligible and interested in receiving continuing education credits, you would need to add two $25 vouchers to your cart.

Questions about this process can be directed to info@dalailama.emory.edu and should be sent before making your purchase. All ticket sales including Continuing Education Vouchers are final.

Vouchers for non-medicine credits—if they become available—will be able to be purchased through the ticketing website. If purchased separately from your event tickets they will be subject to a second $3.50 transaction charge from the box office. If your ticket purchase is dependent on availability of continuing education units for a field of study other than medicine, please do not purchase your tickets at this time as they are non-refundable should we not be able to offer your specific education credit.  Be aware that tickets may sell out prior to formal announcement of other continuing education opportunities.
