Coronavirus Precautions for Live Training

By all means, get tested, especially if you have any of the following symptoms.

Fever over 100F
Cough
Difficulty Breathing
Malaise
Loss of Smell or Taste

…you will not be admitted to the class with a positive COVID PCR test and will need to reschedule.  

Please contact us at info@practicalcme.com or use the LIVE CHAT option to let us know.

It is our policy to allow for FREE “space available” (space confirmed 3 weeks prior to date) rescheduling to a future date in the same location for any provider who feels ill at the time of the live course date.  We will not honor free rescheduling unless a PCR confirmed positive COVID test done within 7 days of the live date is provided as proof.  Home tests are not acceptable.

FREE rescheduling does not apply without proof of a positive PCR test in the 5-day window prior to the live date.  If you take Paxlovid immediately upon learning your diagnosis, you may be admitted if your symptoms subside. 

Hotel-Based courses (LA, Phoenix, Atlanta) start at 8am. Only paid attendees will be allowed in the room at that time. Seating will be 6 feet apart. Masks are optional.  Many hotels will still not do in-room catering. In that case, if you stay for the entire day, PracticalCME will provide a boxed lunch. You may bring your own food/beverage to consume during the course. We are looking forward to providing our usual great in-room catering once the hotels allow it.

PracticalCME does not provide patients for you to treat without prior arrangement. It is ideal to treat a friend or relative known to you so you can follow her progress over time. Please ensure that your patient has not had any coronavirus symptoms in the prior 72 hours: Fever over 100F, Cough, Malaise, or Loss of Smell or Taste. If your patient arrives at the course with any of these symptoms, she will be dismissed and your hands-on opportunity will be rescheduled.

All patients must wait outside of the training room/office until you call or text them when it is their turn. They are not allowed in the room for any part of the lecture or review.

Our Office-Based courses (Charlotte, Portland, Seattle, Long Island, New Smyrna Beach, FL, Athens, GA) start at 8am. Attendance in the treatment room and lecture/review area will be limited to the attendees and the one patient being treated.

PracticalCME shall comply with all travel restrictions when imposed.

Therefore, if a travel restriction affects our instructor, the course will be rescheduled or moved to a neighboring state with no restriction.

If a travel restriction affects an attendee, the attendee will be given the option to reschedule to a future date in the same location.
