FAQs for Learners (Participants)

 

 

Why do physicians need CME credit?

CME supports lifelong learning and helps clinicians maintain and improve knowledge, competence, and performance to deliver safe, effective patient care. Obtaining CME credit also ensures that they meet state licensing and board certification requirements. Illinois requires physicians to complete 150 hours of CME credit over a three-year re-licensure period. Please visit the Office of CME website’s Licensing Requirement tab for additional information.  

How do I earn CME credit for an activity?

Attend the activity and complete all participation requirements (e.g., attendance verification and the post-activity evaluation). If the activity offers AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, eligible physicians may claim credit commensurate with participation.

How is my MOC reported to my board?

I forgot my password. Should I create a new account?

I forgot to verify attendance or claim credit. Can I still get credit?
