Why do I want to apply for CME credit for my educational activity?
Aspiring physicians spend four years in medical school and three to five years in residency training. For the rest of their careers, physicians rely on accredited CME as one of the support systems that help them drive improvements in practice and optimize the care, health, and wellness of patients.
Participation for accredited CME helps physicians meet requirements for maintenance of licensure, maintenance of certification, credentialing, membership in professional societies, and other professional privileges. Physicians can count on accredited CME to provide a protected space for them to learn and teach without commercial influence.
The American College of Emergency Physicians offers AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and/or ACEP Category I Credit for activities with content directly related to the Clinical Model of Emergency Medicine.
The American College of Emergency Physicians is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
