Physicians in the field of Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurology, and Neurosurgery may meet this annual requirement by maintaining current board certification in their respective field. New physician team members (including those who are board certified) who are providing stroke care must meet the 8-hour CME requirement in their first year.
