Can I issue SDMS CME credit(s) before I receive SDMS CME credit approval?
No, for several reasons: 1) it is possible that the educational activity may not be approved for CME credit; 2) all CME credit certificates must contain a unique SDMS file number or they will not be accepted by the ARDMS and/or ARRT. This file number is provided when you receive the written CME credit approval letter from the SDMS. Falsifying CME credit approval can result in revocation of your SDMS CME provider status. In addition, issuing SDMS CME credit without approval by the SDMS or after the SDMS CME credit approval expiration date (which appears on the CME credit approval letter) may also result in legal action.
