A physician's continuing professional development is critical to keeping up with advances in medicine and with changes in the delivery of care.
To help physicians maintain, develop and increase the knowledge, skills and professional performance and relationships they use to provide services for patients, the public and the profession, the AMA offers a wide range of continuing medical education (CME) activities that foster physician lifelong learning. AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ can be earned by successfully completing these CME activities, which you can view here by topic or by format.
Physicians will find information here about the AMA Physician's Recognition Award, the most widely accepted award recognizing physician participation in CME. Other physician resources are available here, including other ways to earn AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
CME Providers can access the AMA PRA Credit System booklet to obtain information about formats of learning that can be designated for credit, and general provider requirements. The AMA offers educational webinars for providers and others interested in learning more about specific CME topics.
