World Class CME announces 'The Best of the Big Apple OB-GYN Ultrasound 2026,' a three-day continuing medical education conference scheduled for November 13-15, 2026, at the New York Marriott Downtown. The program offers up to 19 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, addressing professional development requirements for OB-GYN physicians and sonographers who must maintain licensure and certifications. Regulatory standards, such as Alabama's state board requirement of 25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits annually for MD/DO accreditation, position this conference as a valuable resource for practitioners seeking to fulfill these mandates while advancing clinical expertise.

Program directors Joshua A. Copel, MD, from Yale School of Medicine, Steven R. Goldstein, MD, from NYU Langone Medical Center, and Ilan E. Timor-Tritsch, MD, from the Mount Sinai Hospital System lead a faculty drawn from nationally recognized institutions. The faculty includes Tracy L. Anton, BS, RDMS, RDCS, FAIUM, from the University of California, San Diego; Yinka Oyelese, MD, MRCOG, FACOG, from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School; Lynn L. Simpson, MD, from Columbia University Irving Medical Center; and Paula J. Woodward, MD, from the University of Utah School of Medicine. Research has shown that advanced fetal neurosonography-a key conference topic-improves patient care by enabling early detection of brain abnormalities such as ventriculomegaly and cortical malformations.
The curriculum addresses complex clinical challenges through practical, case-based strategies for gynecologic and obstetric ultrasound. Topics include advanced first-trimester and fetal neurosonography updates, focused instruction on optimizing fetal heart imaging, and evidence-based evaluation of placental, cord, and myometrial pathology. Faculty will provide real-world guidance on counseling patients after prenatal diagnosis. Studies indicate that dedicated fetal neurosonographic evaluation improves maternal-fetal medicine fellow training and patient outcomes, particularly for common central nervous system malformations.
The conference takes place at the New York Marriott Downtown in Lower Manhattan. Tiered pricing reflects the diverse target audience: $1,595 for physicians and $1,075 for sonographers, with discounts available for residents, military personnel, and retired physicians. Organizers have negotiated a hotel room block at $355 per night, with a reservation deadline of October 26, 2026. A group discount of $75 off per person applies when two or more registrants sign up together. Attendees receive expanded continental breakfasts and refreshments during breaks, with diagnostic ultrasound equipment vendors scheduled to be on-site.
World Class CME is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), which enforces Standards for Integrity and Independence to ensure continuing education is accurate, balanced, scientifically justified, and free from commercial bias. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has assigned up to 19 cognate credits to this program. The American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers accepts these credits for sonographers' continuing education requirements. This accreditation framework reinforces that the educational programming meets regulatory standards for medical education quality and independence.
Physicians and sonographers are encouraged to register early, as the hotel historically sells out. For questions or group discount requests, contact World Class CME at 980-819-5095 or office@worldclasscme.com. Early registration ensures hotel accommodation and optimal course selection.
