Continuing Medical Education
CME activities help to promote higher education and quality in healthcare which can improve clinical outcomes and professional performances in our local healthcare organizations. The central Illinois area is fortunate to be able to offer many strong Continued Medical Education programs. We feel that one of the most important resources that we can offer to our area health care providers is information regarding CME opportunities not only within the Illinois Heart & Lung Foundation, but throughout the community. The Illinois Heart & Lung Foundation updates our CME listings once a month to encourage and promote attendance at area CME activities.
