How can a physician ensure that an activity is designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ by an accredited CME provider?
Accredited CME providers are required to indicate, through a prescribed designation statement on promotional materials, that an activity is designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. In 2006 the AMA asserted trademark protection on AMA credit to help physicians ensure that the credit being designated for a particular activity is actually AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Physicians can also ensure that the organization designating the credit is an accredited CME provider by searching the lists of national and state providers on the ACCME Web site.
