Claim CE/CME for ISTSS 2021

Claim ISTSS 2021 CE/CME

If you purchased CE/CME, you will receive the link to submit your session evaluation via email within one week of the end of the conference. If you are claiming credit for:

Sessions you tune in to live, you must complete the session evaluation online following the conference.
Sessions you watch as recordings, you must complete the session evaluation and take the quiz.
Sessions you attend partially live and partially as recordings, for example if you leave a live session early and watch the recording later, you must complete the session evaluation and take the quiz.

Not all recorded sessions will have associated quiz questions, and thus will not be eligible for CE/CME.

Educational Need

The ISTSS Annual Meeting provides a forum for sharing research, clinical strategies, public policy concerns and theoretical formulations on trauma. It is an international assembly of professionals and students representing an array of disciplines including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, counselors, researchers, administrators, victim advocates, journalists, clergy and others with an interest in the study and treatment of traumatic stress. Speakers are strongly requested to avoid unnecessary jargon and to make their work and its implication to the traumatic stress field as accessible as possible to those who do not share their particular perspective and type of scientific approach. This is designed to facilitate increased understanding of what different types of researchers (e.g., basic scientists, clinical researchers) focusing on different types of traumatic stressors (e.g., child maltreatment, disasters, terrorism, war) using different research methods and perspectives (e.g., epidemiology, genetics, psychosocial, psychobiological) have found as well as what the implications of their work are for the traumatic stress field. Our aspirational goal is to establish a jargon-free zone in which experts maximize communication of their work, findings, and implications in a way that facilitates understanding and cross-fertilization among researchers, clinicians and policy makers from other perspectives.

Conference Learning Objectives

Identify contextual factors related to trauma and traumatic stress within and across each level of the social ecology including relationships, communities, institutions, and cultures.

Discuss innovations in research and practice that incorporate social-ecological and systemic factors into a more holistic understanding of trauma and its effects.

Satisfactory Completion

Participants must complete an evaluation form to receive a certificate of completion. Your chosen sessions must be attended in their entirety. Partial credit of individual sessions is not available.
