We know learning new things is crucial to keeping mentally sharp and improving your “mental wellness,” and that chocolate is a proven attitude enhancer, so we are combining both and offering our members a chance to take a class at Elizabeth Moore Chocolates in Pelham on Saturday, September 27th, from noon to 3:00 p.m. This is a hands-on class where you will learn all about coloring, tempering, and making ganache to fill your bonbons, which you will take home with you! Chef Susan Notter C.E.P.C., who is originally from England, trained in Germany and Switzerland before moving to the United States. She is currently the pastry coach of the USA Culinary Olympic Team, which represents the USA in international culinary competitions. Susan has appeared on numerous Food Network shows, including Halloween Wars, where she was part of the winning team on the first season. Several years ago, Susan opened the Elizabeth Moore Chocolate boutique, where she creates fine European chocolates, single-origin chocolate bars, teaches classes, and designs special occasion sugar and chocolate showpieces. Check out her shop, products, and classes at https://elizabethmoorechocolates.com/. Space for the class is very limited and is offered to JCMS members at a discounted rate.

New Mandatory CME Requirement
We want to make sure that all JCMS members are aware that the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners has imposed a new CME requirement for all actively licensed physicians (as well as physician assistants and anesthesiologist assistants) beginning in 2025. You must complete the two-hour on-demand course entitled "Navigating Professional Boundaries in Medicine." The course is provided by PBI Education and is free. It must be completed by December 31, 2025. New licensees will be required to complete the course within twelve months of licensure. The link to the course can be found on the ALBME website at:
https://www.albme.gov/resources/licensees/continuing-medical-education/on-demand-online-courses/navigating-professional-boundaries-in-medicine.
It is not necessary to take the course each year; at this time, it is a one-time requirement.
