About the POMA24 Education Program
The 2024 POMA Clinical Assembly offers something for everyone!  Get your credits for license renewal and receive the latest medical updates all at POMA24!  You'll receive the latest information in cardiology, diagnostic and laboratory testing, drugs and mental health, preventive screenings, new guidelines, team-based care, regulatory affairs and technology.  We're covering more ground with shorter lectures so you have the information you need and can apply immediately in your practice.

Our in-person conference is incorporating a variety of interactive, hands-on learning to supplement the classroom learning experience.  Plan to bring your family to our interactive Drugs 101 session on Saturday morning so you can learn together and continue the conversation at home.  Participate in our OMM sessions and learn how to incorporate easy, effective techniques into your daily practice.  Explore mobile/travelling units for mammogram services and veteran's health services and learn about services that are available in communities across the state to serve all patients in the Commonwealth.  All lectures will be presented live, in-person at Kalahari May 1-4, 2024.

All of our educational lectures will be recorded and converted into on-demand format for remote viewing from May 10-June 10, 2024.  Our faculty and experts will be available to respond to your questions/comments on the content presented in a timely fashion.  This is what enables us to award 1-A AOA credit!  Note, this is not a live simulcast event.  Technical instructions for virtual viewing will be provided on May 10th.

In total, 34 Category 1-A AOA CME Credits and 34 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM are available, including courses applicable to Pennsylvania's mandated reporter training, opioid education and patient safety licensure requirements.  Our goal is to provide you the most affordable, high-quality osteopathic education experience in the country.  For just $17 per credit, earn the credits you need with POMA and join us for POMA24!  And remember, 2024 is a license renewal year!
