1. Title
This is your welcome slide were you can state the name of the presentation.
Please note, that all presentations are required use this template. It is recommended that prospective authors review at least one other previous CME presentation to get an idea of the general flow of the slides. If you are unsure about any aspect, please contact your assigned mentor.
Jointly provided by Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Society for Pediatric Sedation

2. Faculty and Disclosures
Presenter: Andrew Speaker MD, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, _______ University School of Medicine
It is the policy of the ACCME and Vanderbilt University Medical Center to require disclosure of financial relationships from individuals in a position to control the content of a CME activity; to identify and resolve conflicts of interest related to those relationships; and to make disclosure information available to the audience prior to the CME activity.  Presenters are required to disclose discussions of unlabeled/unapproved uses of drugs or devices during their presentations.
All course directors, planners, and authors indicated no financial relationships to disclose.
This enduring material received no commercial support.
Most of this information is already on the CME website so it is not necessary to restate everything.
Use this slide to introduce yourself and if you have any disclosures, including any descriptions of off-label use.

3. Target Audience and Objectives
This educational activity has been designed for the members of the Society for Pediatric Sedation.
After participating in this CME activity, participants should be able to:
Aaa
Bbb
Ccc
Ddd
Need 3 to 4 objectives of the talk. It may be useful to use your objectives to define the sub-sections of the talk.
Ask yourself, what do you want the learner to remember 3 months from now about this topic? These should be your key take home points, and should be related to the objectives, but do not have to be exactly the same.
Remember to use words that are specific such as:
KNOWLEDGE - Define, Describe, Identify, Label, List, Match, Name, Outline, Recall, Recognize, Reproduce, Select, State
COMPREHENSION - Comprehend, Convert, Defend, Distinguish, Estimate, Explain, Extend, Generalize, Gives an example, Infer, Interpret, Paraphrase, Predict, Summarize, Translate
APPLICATION - Apply, Change, Construct, Demonstrate, Discover, Manipulate, Modify, Monitor, Operate, Predict, Prepare, Present, Produce, Relate, Solve, Use
ANALYSIS - Analyze, Compare, Contrast, Diagram, Deconstruct, Differentiate, Discriminate Distinguish, Identify, Illustrate, Infer, Outline, Relate, Select, Separate
SYNTHESIS – Categorize, Compile, Create, Devise, Design, Explain, Generate, Modify, Organize, Plan, Rearrange, Relate, Reorganize, Revise, Summarize, Write
EVALUATION – Appraise, Compare, Conclude, Contrast, Criticize, Critique, Defend, Describe, Discriminate Evaluate, Explain, Interpret, Justify, Relate, Summarize, Support

4. CME Credit
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint providership of Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Society for Pediatric Sedation. Vanderbilt University Medical Center is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center designates this enduring material for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
To obtain CME credit for your participation in this activity, you must:
view the presentation
click on the link to the Vanderbilt CME website
score at least 80% on the post-test
evaluate the activity
your credit will be immediately available online
Personal information is used for issuing a CME credit certificate and storing that credit in the Vanderbilt CME database.
This CME activity is jointly sponsored by the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Society for Pediatric Sedation. It is available to SPS members. To obtain credit, you must view the presentation and take the post-test. This activity has been designated for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 credit. CME credit is available for 2 years after the release date

5. Content
Aim to have the presentation last minutes, which translates to about slides in total.
Content will be based on the educational needs of physicians, will promote
improvements or quality in healthcare, and will be free of commercial bias
for or against a product/service.
In addition, the content MUST adhere to the following:
include patient treatment recommendations that represent standard of care and use of best evidence, and provide a balanced view of therapeutic options
refer to, report, or use research that is scientifically objective and
methodologically sound
disclose off-label use of drugs or devices discussed in the presentation
not use trade names
not use company logos
provide evidenced based discussion with references as appropriate
limit the use of anecdotal evidence, and state it as such
May discuss “standard of care” therapies when evidence does not exist or
is limited and will state it as such
Written points should be brief and succinct, and serve as a guideline for the spoken narrative. Do not read your slides word for word exclusively.
The tone and delivery style should mimic a live lecture as much as possible.
Do’s:
Get across your key points, with your objectives in mind
Convey the impression that you are excited about the topic and are happy to be able to share your views with the learner
Consider an attention getting beginning such as a case scenario, anecdote or a difficult clinical question.
Keep your written points short and to-the-point
Keep your slides uncluttered
Maintain a conversational (varying) tone throughout, avoiding monotone speech
Don’ts:
Don’t - Read your slide text verbatim
Don’t - Overwhelm the learner with data heavy slides. For example, give the key results of a study, but not the data table.
Don’t - Overuse animations
Don’t - Use transitions between slides. Some find this distracting.
Don’t - Use speech mannerisms such as “OK” and “um”
Don’t - Use humor. This may work well in a live presentation, but will not translate will in an enduring material.

6. Interactive Question (example)
The action of succinylcholine at the neuromuscular junction is terminated by which mechanism?
Hydrolysis by pseudocholinesterase
Hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase
Reuptake into nerve tissue
Reuptake into muscle tissue
Diffusion into extracellular fluid
Hall BA and Chantigian RC. Anesthesia: A Comprehensive Review. 4e, Saunders
Within the content, there should be 2 to 3 questions which fulfils an ACCME requirement for “interactivity” in CME presentations. This and the next slide is an example of such a question. Please include an explanation with the answer

7. Interactive Question (answer)
The action of succinylcholine at the neuromuscular junction is terminated by which mechanism?
Hydrolysis by pseudocholinesterase
Hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase
Reuptake into nerve tissue
Reuptake into muscle tissue
Diffusion into extracellular fluid
Hall BA and Chantigian RC. Anesthesia: A Comprehensive Review. 4e, Saunders
Succinylcholine is rapidly metabolized in the blood by pseudocholinesterase (plasma cholinesterase). This accounts for the large dose required to facilitate intubation. Since pseudocholinesterase is not present at the neuromuscular junction, SC’s action is terminated after it diffuses into the extracellular fluid

9. Conclusions
The conclusion slide should include your key “take home” points. It may be useful to structure these around your original objectives.
