Choosing the right course for physicians

Are learning and credit completion free?

This collection contains 88 current courses with no separate reporting fee identified. Every included course has $0 learning and assessment costs. The listing identifies a free certificate or verified direct credit reporting; a direct-reporting activity does not promise a downloadable certificate. A provider may also sell other courses; the whole external catalog is not assumed to be free.

Will these credits count for physicians?

Check the activity’s designated CME type, specialty and credit claiming deadline. Credit counts here include only the recorded tracks for this profession. A listed accrediting body or provider does not establish acceptance by every state board. Review the course approval notes and your board’s rules.

Should I choose an upcoming session or an older recording?

3 scheduled sessions are coming up; 85 courses are currently on demand. Choose an upcoming session if its date and time zone suit you, or on-demand learning for flexibility. A recording’s age alone does not determine credit eligibility. Expired and withdrawn listings are kept in Past & unavailable.
