How many Continuing Medical Education (CME) Credits are required?
A new law was adopted in the 2003 legislative session beginning in the calendar year 2004, every physician licensed to practice medicine within this state, in connection with biannual registration, on or before the first day of June in each even-numbered year, provide satisfactory evidence to the Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline that in the preceding two (2) years the practitioner has completed a prescribed course of continuing medical education. Note: when the CME period is approaching the Board gets a lot of calls asking where they can get the CME. Although the Board does not endorse one source over others, we are happy to share information. Many websites offer access to CME. Examples include http://www.informed.cme.edu/, http://www.emedicine.com/ or http://www.vlh.com. We would be happy to post others that members of our physician community suggest.
