Changes To CME Hours And Forms

In 2009, the Medical Board of California changed its continuing medical education (CME) reporting requirements. Physicians are now required to complete 50 CME hours during every two‐year licensure period, as opposed to the 100 hours previously required every four years. Additionally, CME reporting deadlines are now based on the physician's personal license renewal date (the last day of the month of the physician's birthday), not the calendar year. When certified by IMQ, physicians' CME credits will automatically be accepted by the medical board, saving you time and hassle. (IMQ also provides documentation of physicians' CME in the event of a medical board audit.) IMQ's CME certification is $29 for RCMA/CMA members, $49 for nonmembers. Physicians also can request that their CME certification information be sent to hospitals, health plans, specialty societies, and others for credentialing or membership renewal purposes at no additional charge.
