AEU Credits

OR Manager Conference understands that the managers and directors of Ambulatory Surgery Centers require a customized education to help successfully manage the unique situations that occur within the ASC.  To meet your unique needs, we have a dedicated ASC track in which each session has been hand-picked by our planning committee on what specific topics would be important to their peers.

This program is approved for 15.25 AEU credit by BASC Provider #1301.

Sessions at OR Manager Conference are approved for your CSSM® eligibility requirements through CCI.

The Certified Surgical Services Manager (CSSM) certification program is for perioperative leaders interested in improving and validating their managerial knowledge and skills so as to advance the performance of their surgical services department.

CSSM certification validates the achievement of the baccalaureate prepared manager who demonstrates current proficiency as an administrator in the perioperative (pre-, intra-, and post-operative) setting.

CCI delivers the CSSM exam to recognize the important role managers have in directing staff, programs and budgets in delivering safe patient care. The purpose of the CSSM exam is to provide recognition for the important and distinct role of surgical services managers.

By attending sessions at the OR Manager Conference, you will receive credit towards your continuing education coursework requirements necessary for the exam application. Learn more about the CSSM credential and requirements on www.cc-institute.org/cssm.
