Journal-based CME (PDF, 200KB) describes a process by which accredited providers identify an article, within a peer-reviewed, professional journal, that serves as a planned learning activity. This is usually done through the publisher of the journal, in which an article or series of articles will be available for credit. An accredited CME provider may choose to structure a learning activity around a journal article and designate that for credit, often called a journal-club. The key to remember here is that the CME provider must comply with the basic requirements (PDF, 200KB) for an AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ activity in order to designate such an activity for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
