The Medical Board of California is changing its continuing medical education (CME) requirements for physicians. Though it is unclear exactly when the new requirements will take effect, the medical board has announced that physicians will be required to complete 50 CME hours during every two-year licensure period. Currently, physicians are required to complete 100 every four years.
The medical board has also clarified that CME are to be calculated based on the physician’s personal license renewal date (the last day of the month of your birthday), not the calendar year.
We will let you know as soon as additional details are available.
Physicians are reminded that CMA’s Institute for Medical Quality (IMQ) certifies physicians’ CME activity for credentialing purposes to the Medical Board of California, as well as to hospitals, health plans, specialty societies, and others. CME certification is $29 a year for members, $49 for nonmembers.
