CME

Post by 2paornot2pa » Wed Dec 18, 2013 8:19 pm

I am wondering how CME works after getting certified? I have a PA interview coming up and I am wondering whether or not it would be a good idea to ask them about CME, and if they do/plan to offer CME courses.

Any input would be appreciated

Good luck to us all who are interviewing this year

CMEs (continuing medical education credits) are due before the end of your recertification year. You must do 100 hours, 50 of which must be category 1 (official trainings and courses). The other 50 maybe category 1 or category 2. Cat 2 can be self study, reading articles, teaching, preceptoring, etc. Most PAs find the process to be pretty straightforward.

You can ask, but I don't think it's a terribly relevant question - most people don't return to their original institution for CMEs because they are so easy to find elsewhere. But hey, it's a question, and if you're curious, you might as well ask and then you'll know.
