May accredited CME providers modify the required designation statement?
No. Providers that designate activities for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ may not modify or insert other language into the AMA designation statement. The following required designation statement (PDF, 200KB) must be used in both announcements and activity materials: The [name of accredited provider] designates this educational activity for a maximum of [number of credits] AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. The (s) at the end of AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ is intended to indicate that providers should make the sentence grammatically correct, e.g. activities would be designated for 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, 2.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. An exception to the designation statement requirement is a “save the date” announcement. Such announcements may indicate that AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ will be provided without stating an exact amount, but only if the provider has already certified
