An RSS, as defined by the ACCME, is a live activity planned as a series with multiple ongoing sessions that are offered weekly, monthly, or quarterly. RSS are primarily planned by and presented to the accredited organization's professional staff and generally targets the same audience over the whole series. Examples include grand rounds, tumor boards, and morbidity and mortality conferences.

Case Conferences - please note
- To be a case conference there needs to be an open, group discussion re: diagnostic strategies in the current &/or future care of a patient. Could also be retrospective (like M&Ms). A morning reports style conference.
- The CME office handles tumor boards and M&Ms as case conferences.
- If your activity doesn’t meet the above definition, it would be considered a didactic lecture.
