For physicians, surgeons, and specialists, Continuing Medical Education (CME) is not just a credentialing requirement; it is the bedrock of competent, compassionate care.

Modern CenaCme events now publish their budgets. If a meal costs $85 per person, the attendee or a grant pays for it—not a commercial interest expecting a sales quota. Furthermore, many events now offer a "lecture-only" ticket at a lower price, allowing attendees to skip the meal if they feel uncomfortable.
