FAQ's
Continued Medical Education (CME/CE) refers to the ongoing process of learning, updating, and enhancing medical knowledge and skills by clinicians after completing their initial formal education. It plays a key role in maintaining and advancing the quality of patient care, keeping clinicians informed of the latest advancements, best practices, and evidence-based approaches in their respective fields.

CME/CE credits are usually reported through a structured process to ensure proper documentation and compliance with regulatory requirements. The exact procedure can vary based on a clinician's specialty and the organization that oversees their certification. Ensuring accurate and up-to-date records of CME/CE activities is crucial for maintaining professional credentials and ensuring the highest standards of patient care. Here is a general overview of the process:
1. Clinicians attend CME/CE activities that are accredited by recognized organizations such as the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) or other relevant accrediting bodies specific to their specialty.
2. Clinicians collect documentation of their participation in accredited CME/CE activities which usually includes certificates of attendance, completion, or transcripts provided by the CME/CE provider.
3. All records of CME/CE activities should be maintained, including dates, activity titles, sponsoring organizations, and the number of credits earned, as this is crucial for reporting and verification purposes.
4. Depending on their specialty, clinicians might need to report their CME/CE credits through different systems or organizations. They would typically log in to the online portal provided by their certifying or licensing organization to enter the details of the CME/CE activities they've completed, and in some cases upload scanned copies of their CME/CE certificates or transcripts as proof of completion.
5. Clinicians should keep copies of all documentation submitted for their own records. This can be important in case of any discrepancies or audits in the future. At Pri-Med, we keep track of all your credits and certificates in a personal dashboard you can access at any time.
