This section supplements, and does not replace, the rest of these Terms.

Prices, program descriptions, access periods, and any continuing education or continuing medical education (CE/CME) credit available for a given Program are as stated on the applicable registration page at the time you register (each, a “Registration Page”).

Delivery. Following registration, CMI will provide access to the applicable Program by email.

Refunds and Cancellations. Except as stated in this section or as required by applicable law, all purchases are final and non-refundable.

If CMI cancels or is unable to hold a scheduled live Parent Consultation Group session, CMI will offer the registrant the opportunity to attend the next scheduled session.

A registration may not be transferred to another person or exchanged for a different date or Program.

Parent Consultation Group. The BEST Parent Consultation Group is a live, group educational discussion. It is for general educational purposes only, does not constitute medical advice, and does not create a provider-patient relationship between you, any other participant, or the group leader. Participants are asked not to share, outside the session, what another participant discloses during the session.

Continuing Education and Continuing Medical Education Credit. Some Programs, including the Visiting Professor Lecture Series, offer CE or CME credit. Eligibility for credit requires full attendance and completion of any required sign-in, sign-out, or post-Program survey. CE/CME credit is administered in accordance with CMI’s CE/CME Grievance Policy.
