Expiration date: December 31, 2021

Learning objectives
After attending this course, participants will be able to:

• Define big data and protected health information (PHI).
• Cite a list of available big data sets for eye and vision research.
• Discuss pathways to gain access to big data sets.
• Implement strategies to address data issues that exist within most big data sets.
• Recite options to interrogate big data sets.
• List common tools used to visualize big data sets.

Target audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of early and mid-career clinicians, clinician-scientists and basic researchers seeking to utilize large clinical data sets to answer research questions aimed at improving our understanding of the visual system and preventing, treating and curing its disorders. 

Physician accreditation statement
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Physician credit designation
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) designates this enduring material activity for a maximum of 9.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

International Attendees: The American Medical Association (AMA) has determined that physicians not licensed in the U.S. who participate in CME activities are eligible for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.

American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) diplomates
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the learner to satisfy the Lifelong Learning, Self-Assessment, Improvement in Medical Practice and/or Patient Safety requirements for the American Board of Ophthalmology’s Maintenance of Certification program. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit learner completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting MOC credit.

Getting the most for Big Data Sets qualifies for Lifelong Learning (Part II). Credits will be reported to the ABO via the ACCME quarterly from March to December 2021. Late requests for credit will not be processed. Learner data will not be shared with any entity other than the ACCME for the purpose of granting MOC credit. Participants will be able to provide the required information for MOC credit tracking on the Overall Meeting Evaluating Form. By providing the required information, attendees will be giving ARVO permission to share their learner data with the ACCME.

European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) CME/CPD requirements
European physicians can convert CME credit from Getting the most for Big Data Sets to meet European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) CME/CPD requirements.

The American Medical Association has an agreement of mutual recognition of CME credits with the UEMS, the accreditation body for European countries. Physicians interested in converting AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™  to UEMS-European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education CME credits (ECMECs) should contact the UEMS at mutualrecognition@uems.eu.

Certificate of participation
ARVO is accredited to offer AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ to physicians. All other participants in the CME program may receive a Certificate of Participation that documents the number of CME hours attended* by following the same instructions listed above.
