How are you all getting your 25 SA-CME credits. It seems like the only way is to do them at meetings or shell out 20 bucks per credit to ASTRO for red journal articles.

"The ABR believes in the [monetary] value of Maintenance of Certification"
I wanted to resurrect this thread to re-engage on free SA-CMEs. I'm already shelling out money to ASTRO and ABR and I don't want to spend more.
Selected articles in the Red Journal are designated SA-CME eligible. Is there no way to earn this without shelling out additional money to ASTRO?
Other thoughts/approaches/insights appreciated.
Check with ABR MOC people via phone today...it does not have to be listed as SA-CME. As long as its web or print and question based it will count with a designation or not. This allows things like research to practice that was posted to count towards your SA-CME without having to spend the money ASTRO is asking you.
As an aside, it's pretty embarassing that ASTRO feels the need to charge for Red Journal articles for members already paying for this. The ACS does not do this with surgical SA-CME's.
Do the Neil Love "Breast Cancer Update" CDs. They count as SA-CME, and best of all they're free. You can get a ton of CME this way since they have a number of issues per year on a number of topics (in addition to Breast cancer, there's GI cancer, Prostate, H&N, CNS, Ovarian ... ) -- so much, in fact, that you don't have to do any other CME.
