The NIH/FAES designates this educational activity for a maximum of 42 category 1 credits toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those credits that he/she actually spent in the activity.
The target audience for the WALS is: advanced students and practitioners in biomedical fields; healthcare professionals; and doctoral-level scientists who seek to update and broaden their understanding of contemporary biomedical resesarch and the environment in which it is conducted.
The NIH/FAES is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The educational objective for this activity is to enable participants to identify key questions in each speaker's area of investigation and to identify approaches used to answer these questions.
