2017 Practice Management Workshop
PMW17 Credit Claiming Instructions.pdfThis unique weekend event focuses exclusively on the business side of medicine -- billing, coding, insurance contracting, regulatory issues, and more. Designed for allergist/immunologists at any stage of their career, and their practice managers, this interactive weekend arms you with practical tools you can implement in your practice immediately.
Registration Information
Please read ALL information and instructions before attempting to register. DO NOT REGISTER UNDER ANYONE'S NAME BUT YOUR OWN. There are options at the bottom of the page to register as practice staff of a AAAAI member or non-member as outlined in the table, below.
If you do not have a AAAAI account because you have never participated in any AAAAI-sponsored activities, you must first creat one. Click 'Log in' or 'Register' on the Register tab, select 'I am not a member, and I do not have an account with the AAAAI' and enter your email address for instructions for setting up your account. If you are unsure if you have an account with AAAAI, please contact us at cme@aaaai.org before proceeding to avoid the possibility of creating a duplicate account.
Please note that ALL attendees MUST register separately, but practices may notify AAAAI staff of multiple attendees and arrange to make a single payment by completing this online form. The form is for multiple registrations only. If you are not registering more than one person, please scroll down and read the remaining information for registration of one person. If you opt to submit the form, please complete it now and do not proceed with registration for any members of your practice until you have been contacted by a member of the AAAAI Education Team.
