What Ogden Surgical-Medical Society does

Ogden Surgical-Medical Society (OSMS) is a non-profit continuing medical education (CME) organization founded in 1946 in Ogden, Utah, and self-described as the longest-serving CME provider west of the Mississippi. It serves licensed physicians (MD, DO, PhD, DPM, DDS, DMD), advanced practice clinicians (NPs, PAs), nurses, social workers, EMS professionals, and medical residents, delivering 50+ AMA PRA Category 1 Credits per year through an annual membership program.

The Society's core product is the Annual CME Conference, with the 81st edition scheduled for May 12-15, 2026, at Weber State University's Shepherd Union Building under the theme 'Movement in Primary and Specialty Medicine.' Up to 29.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits are available at the live event, with a hybrid format that combines in-person attendance, live Zoom streaming, and on-demand access via EventMobi. Supporting products include an on-demand video archive (with CME eligibility for content from the most recent three years), a podcast series distributed via Buzzsprout and YouTube, and physical media (DVD/flash drive) fulfillment by mail. CME certificates are generated automatically within 48 hours of survey completion through the EventMobi platform.

OSMS operates as a 501(c)-type non-profit governed by a Board of Directors, with Teresa Puskedra serving as Executive Director and Marc Johnson, MD as Chair. Revenue is generated from tiered annual memberships ($320-$595 depending on provider type), conference registration fees, exhibitor booth fees, pay-as-you-go online CME credits ($45-$65/hour), merchandise sales, and a mix of donations and corporate sponsorships (Bronze through Partner Conference Level at $7,500+). A long-standing endowment, supported by entities such as the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Foundation, provides supplemental funding. The Society partners with regional health systems (Intermountain McKay-Dee, Ogden Regional, Davis Hospital, Ogden Clinic, Tanner Clinic), academic institutions (Weber State University, Rocky Vista University), and the Utah Medical Association.
