In addition to earning these mandated credits, the convention schedule has been arranged so that doctors can conveniently pursue other classes designed to teach new skills to tap niche populations, increase positive patient outcomes leading to new patients and advance their clinical knowledge. CCA has done this by dividing mandated classes between the morning and late afternoon, leaving the late morning and mid-afternoon available to take other optional classes without conflicts. Besides being exposed to cutting edge clinical knowledge, doctors will learn from expert instructors how to effectively implement that knowledge in their practices.
