1. This is an all-virtual conference. You may be selected for an on-demand (fully pre-recorded) or a simulive (pre-recorded with live Q&A) lecture. Speakers will be required to record presentations on their own.
2. Lectures should be the speaker’s original work and cite borrowed information/materials appropriately. If any material or content was developed during an academic affiliation or employment, this information must be disclosed on the disclosure slide of the presentation.
3. At least 3 objectives, one of which should focus on SDOH/health disparities and how PAs may be able to address them. 
   • Use these links as a guide for incorporating SDOH/health disparities into your presentation: 1) Incorporating SDOH and Health Inequities into CME 2) NCAPA’s Toolkit for Incorporation Health Equity into CME
   • Learning objectives should state what learners must be able to do upon completion of the lecture. Objectives outline the knowledge, skills and/or attitude one will gain from the educational activity in a measurable way (i.e., learners will describe, demonstrate, identify, recognize, develop, etc). Please use this link as a guide for incorporating measurable objectives: Verbs for Writing Measurable Objectives.
4. A Disclosure slide should be included in the PPT presentation.  NCAPA is responsible for being in compliance with ACCME Standards for Commercial Support therefore requires selected speakers to disclose all biases, commercial support, and ensure content presented is fair and balanced and that any clinical content presented supports safe, effective patient care.  Speakers should disclose current or recent financial relationships with commercial interests or any conflicts of interest as appropriate.  Recent is defined as the past 24 months.
5. A Reference slide must be included or content cited throughout the presentation.  
6. When using Brand drug names, also include their Generic drug name. 
7. Simulive lectures should be 50-55 minutes in length with 5-10 minutes of Q&A, totaling a sixty minute presentation. As an estimate, this is approximately 50-60 slides. On-demand lectures should be 55-60 minutes maximum.
8. Aesthetics of Power Point should be visually appealing. 
9. All deadlines shared by NCAPA must be met.  To stay on schedule, it is important speakers meet all deadlines given. 

In addition, the following are strongly encouraged:   

• Including a wrap-up slide with a list of “take home points” or “pearls for providers” to utilize in their practice at the end of presentation.  Think along the guidelines of “if you remember one thing…”
• Including case studies to provide a robust and practical CME experience.
• Accessibility Resources that may be used when creating presentations 1) Microsoft PowerPoint, NDRN, and APHA.
