How does the AAFP decide whether a CME activity qualifies for EB CME credit?
AAFP accreditation staff and/or COCPD members review individual topics within each CME activity, assessing their evidence-based content and accompanying practice recommendations, to decide whether to grant EB CME credit. Based on that evidence and the number of practice recommendations made, an entire CME activity may qualify for EB CME credit. Yet it is also possible that only a single presentation in a daylong CME program will contain EB CME, thus qualifying for EB CME credit. In this case, the non-EB CME portions of that program would receive regular CME credit, and the EB CME portion would receive double credit as EB CME. The CME provider is responsible for clarifying to physician learners which portion of a program has been granted EB CME credit.
