CME credits are for MD’s and DO’s only and are designated on an hour for hour basis (minus social activities and breaks). Continuing Education Units (CEUs) can be provided to others and are designated as 1/10 credit per 1 contact hour. There is often concern about the “value” difference, but 1 hour AMA category 1 credit (CME) and 1/10 Continuing Education Unit (CEU) represent the SAME 1 HOUR OF CONTACT. Please call our office at 1-866-894-3622, ext. 9-3776 if you have questions regarding any other type of credit.
