The WLA is approved for 8 CME credits per year of participation which
will be added to the AAOS portion of your transcript approximately 4-6 weeks after the close of the activity (which was extended to June 1 this year). Once we receive a participant list from ABOS after the close, we add the credits to your transcript and then send out an e-mail notifying you that the credits have been added. All you will have to do is go to your AAOS transcript and claim the credit. Then it will be uploaded to the ABOS website.
