How are CME credits tracked for physicians?
There is no central repository for tracking AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Accredited CME providers are required to keep records of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ awarded to physicians who participate in their activities for 6 years. Because credits may be obtained from a variety of CME providers, physicians should maintain a record of their CME credits from all sources. Physicians should keep in mind the credit requirements of various entities when deciding how long to keep records of their CME activities. While some licensing boards may only require a two year history, medical specialty certifying boards may require six years or more.
