Physicians in 16 states can fulfill continuing medical education (CME) requirements for state medical licensure in one expert online resource: The JAMA Network. And for AMA members, this service is entirely free. Find out whether you’re in one of these states.
The JAMA Network offers hundreds of CME activities related to studies published in its journals. For physicians in the following 16 states, their CME requirements for licensure can be met through these offerings:
- California
- Connecticut
- Florida
- Iowa
- Massachusetts
- Mississippi
- Nevada
- New Jersey
- New Mexico
- Oklahoma
- Oregon
- Pennsylvania
- Rhode Island
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Vermont
Visit the JAMA Network CME site to view the CME activities offered for your state (included under the “all CME courses” tab toward the bottom of the page).
If your state isn’t one of these 16, it might not have any specific requirements, or it could require that CME activities are relevant to each physician’s specialty. Contact your state’s licensing board if you have questions about requirements.
AMA members have free access to unlimited CME activities via the JAMA Network. Simply read an article and complete a brief quiz to obtain AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
The JAMA Network’s online CME center makes what otherwise can be an expensive and cumbersome process convenient. Here physicians easily can:
- Search by journal, topic, year or state to find activities of interest.
- Participate in activities related to a certain topic from several different journals.
- View and print CME certificates.
- Save partially completed quizzes and return to them later.
- Keep track of CME credits in one place.
While CME tokens can be purchased for five or 10 quizzes, AMA members receive full access to the JAMA Network online and unlimited access to its CME offerings.
