Establishing a CloudCME Account and Profile
All coordinators, speakers, attendees, and advisors must create a CloudCME account and profile. Faculty at the University of Florida must select the single sign-on (SSO) option when creating a CloudCME account. Alumni or others who do not actively use their GatorLink account have the option to select the non-SSO option, “Sign in with your Email and Password”, to create an account using an external email address (such as Gmail or Yahoo). Please select the appropriate instruction guide below:
Preparing Your Presentation
Uploading Your Presentation Files
Prerequisite: You must have an active profile in CloudCME. Jump to the Establishing a CloudCME Account and Profile section.
The following materials must be uploaded to CloudCME 72 hours prior to your presentation time (if you need additional time to submit your materials, please complete the contact form):
Curriculum Vitae (Submitted through CloudCME as a PDF)
- Upload your current curriculum vitae as a PDF.
- Your curriculum vitae can be updated and reuploaded at any time.
Disclosure Form (Electronic – Completed within CloudCME)
- Individuals who have the ability to influence and/or control the content of an ACPE-accredited activity must disclose all financial relationships with all companies – whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients – over the past 24 months.
- You can update the financial relationships listed on your disclosure form at any time.
- If any financial relationships are listed, our office will complete a conflict mitigation process. You will be notified if any additional tasks, such as a peer review, are required.
Presentation Release Form (Electronic – Completed within CloudCME)
- This release authorizes the University of Florida Office of Continuing Pharmacy Education to repurpose your presentation as enduring continuing pharmacy education material.
- As a presenter, you have the option to authorize the release of your presentation OR opt out. Opting out will NOT affect the accreditation of your presentation.
- For dates that have multiple presenters who are presenting the same content/presentation, all presenters must authorize the release of the presentation for the release to be executed.
- Should the release be executed, you will retain all rights you may otherwise hold in copyrighted materials included in your presentation and/or incorporated into the recordings.
- Presenters whose content is repurposed will receive an additional 1.0 hour of continuing pharmacy education credit (reported to their NABP e-PID and Florida pharmacist (PS) license).
Presentation Slides (Submitted through CloudCME as a PowerPoint file)
- Upload your presentation slides as a PowerPoint file. You will have the ability to revise and reupload your slides as necessary prior to your presentation date and time.
- Our office will review your slides for and verify the necessary accreditation information is present. If any revisions are required, you will be notified by email.
Tasks: Submission of the required materials listed above will be completed through the Faculty section of your CloudCME account. Each requested upload will be assigned as a “Task”. Tasks will be assigned to you at least 1 week prior to your presentation. To view your assigned tasks, log in to your CloudCME account and click the Faculty tab located on the site banner.
There are 3 different types of tasks:
- Global Tasks
- Global tasks are tasks that apply to all activities. These tasks can be completed at any time but must be completed prior to your first presentation. Note that items associated with these tasks will expire (1 year from the date of upload) and an expiration date will be show.
- These tasks include upload of your curriculum vitae and completion of the disclosure form.
- Activity Tasks
- Activity tasks are tasks that apply to specific activities. These tasks will have a due date, which will be prior to the activity start date.
- This task includes the completion of the presentation release form.
- Upcoming Presentations
- The upcoming presentations tab will show the presentation name, date, and time for any presentation that you have been assigned to as a presenter. This is the area where you will upload your presentation file. Your presentation must be uploaded as a PowerPoint file.
- For dates with multiple presenters who are presenting the same content/presentation, only one presenter needs to upload the presentation slides.
- Presentations must be uploaded prior to the displayed due date.
- Once your presentation has been uploaded, you will be able to make edits and reupload before the due date.
- You will be notified by email if any changes must be made to your presentation to comply with the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education’s (ACPE) accreditation requirements.
A Begin button indicates the task is incomplete, and an Update button indicates the task has been completed.
Peer Reviews
Peer review forms are no longer required for all presentations. Our office will review your submitted slides and assign one of your presentation advisors to review the material if deemed necessary. If a peer review is assigned, the advisor and presenter will be notified by email.
Claiming Continuing Pharmacy Education Credit
Prerequisite: You must have an active profile in CloudCME. Jump to the Establishing a CloudCME Account and Profile section.
Continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credit is awarded only after both of the following steps are completed:
Claim Attendance
All participants (speakers, attendees, RSS coordinators (owners)) seeking CPE credit MUST claim attendance. The methods available to claim attendance are dependent on the participant’s role in the presentation:
- Presenters: Presenters must claim attendance to be awarded CPE credit. CloudCME does not allow presenters to claim attendance for their own presentation via the CloudCME App QR code. Presenters must claim attendance via SMS Text Messaging, Web Browser, or the CloudCME App Claim Credit button.
- Attendees (excluding RSS Coordinators (Owners)): Attendees are required to claim attendance and may do so using any of the methods provided below.
- RSS Coordinators (Owners): RSS coordinators (owners) must claim attendance to be awarded CPE credit. CloudCME does not allow RSS coordinators (owners) to claim attendance for any presentation under their own series via the CloudCME App QR code. RSS coordinators (owners) must claim attendance via SMS Text Messaging, Web Browser, or the CloudCME App Claim Credit button.
Participants must use one of the methods listed below (exclusions apply – see above) to claim attendance for each series presentation. View the set up guide for each method.
- Web Browser (Requires no advance setup)
- SMS Text Messaging (Requires one-time advance setup to link the participant’s CloudCME account and mobile phone number)
- CloudCME App (Requires one-time advance setup to install the CloudCME app to the participants mobile device and link the CloudCME app to the participant’s CloudCME account)
Attendance must be claimed within 72 hours of the presentation end. After 72 hours, the activity code used to claim attendance will expire.
Complete the Activity Evaluation
Whether or not the activity evaluation needs to be completed is dependent on the participant’s role in the presentation (speakers, attendees, RSS coordinators (owners)):
- Presenters: Presenters are exempt from completing an activity evaluation for their own presentation.
- Attendees & RSS Coordinators (Owners): Attendees and RSS coordinators (owners) are required to complete an activity evaluation.
The activity evaluation can be completed using several methods. The attendance method set up guide identifies the corresponding evaluation method that provides the best user experience.
To ensure feedback is provided to presenters in a timely manner, the activity evaluation must be completed within 7 days of the presentation end.
Presentation Feedback
After 7 days from your presentation end time, you will be provided your feedback dashboard via email. Charts will display along with corresponding tabular data below the chart.
If you have not received your presentation feedback after 10 days, please complete the contact form.
Troubleshooting
Q: Why don’t I see my assigned presentation tasks?
There are several reasons your assigned tasks may not appear in CloudCME. The most common include:
- You have not yet created a CloudCME account. Presentation tasks can only be assigned to users who have established a CloudCME account.
- You are logged in to the wrong CloudCME site. The Office of Continuing Medical Education operates a separate CloudCME instance, which often appears first in Google search results. Assigned tasks are available only through our version of CloudCME. Log in to the CloudCME portal to view your tasks: UF CloudCME Portal (ufcpe.cloud-cme.com)
- Your presentation date has not yet been submitted to our office. The Faculty tab and presentation tasks will not appear in your account until your series coordinator provides your presentation date to our office. Coordinators typically submit presentation dates no more than 60 days in advance, as the series schedule is often tentative before that time. Once your presentation date is received, your required tasks will be assigned to your account. If your presentation is within one week and your tasks have not yet been assigned, please contact our office for assistance.
