“I am impressed, no, awed at how well the virtual conference went and deeply thank all those who were involved in pulling this off so successfully.”

MOA’s 109th Annual Convention:
Exploring New Frontiers in Healthcare!
The Maine Osteopathic Association Program Committee made the decision to move forward with a “Virtual Convention” in lieu of our June 2020 in-person live CME event. We know that the global pandemic of COVID-19 has disrupted routines and lives in so many ways. In transitioning to a virtual platform, the MOA has strived to maintain the integrity of our educational programming and keep the format as familiar as possible for our loyal members and attendees. We offered three days of virtual CME sessions June 5-7th, 2020 and now we are offering YOU the opportunity to get access to all of the educational sessions we offered that weekend on your own time and schedule.
In this fully on-demand convention option, you have access to up to 18.25 AOA Category 1A Credits and have 60 days to view the sessions. COVID-19 topics, dermatology, palliative care, physician burnout, sports medicine, mental health and well-bring, financial well being-- so much to choose from here at a great value!
