What are the CME requirements for medical licensing?
CME requirements for licensure and relicensure vary depending on the jurisdiction. Sixty-one (61) state and US territory licensing boards (both allopathic and osteopathic) now have mandatory CME requirements for relicensure. Forty-eight (48) states and territories will accept a current AMA PRA certificate or an AMA approved PRA application as documentation of meeting the CME requirements. Physicians can find the 2009 State licensure and relicensing requirements (PDF) on the AMA Web site but should contact the appropriate state medical board to get the most recent information on state CME requirements and the reporting mechanism.
