America’s physicians arrive in practice rigorously trained, but it is imperative that they stay up to date on clinical practice guidelines throughout their careers to ensure their patients are benefiting from the latest in evidence-based medicine. Experts at the AMA have curated a CME track with clinical practice guidelines on a number of emerging topics to help physicians continuously adopt innovative practices and deliver more effective treatments.
AMA members get exclusive access to this curated CME track featuring the latest clinical guidelines to help improve patient care. They can explore a selection of articles covering important clinical practice guidelines to follow when treating patients and earn CME.
With the “Emerging Topics in Clinical Guidelines CME Track,” physicians can learn at their own pace and get an exclusive, AMA-members-only certificate upon completion of the seven activities.
The course is part of the AMA Ed Hub™ and designated by the AMA for a maximum of 7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. AMA Ed Hub is an online learning platform that brings together high-quality CME, maintenance of certification, and educational content from trusted sources, all in one place—with activities relevant to you, automated credit tracking, and reporting for some states and specialty boards.

- Evidence-based recommendations for transfusion medicine, vascular care, infection management, corticosteroid use in critical illness, and disease prevention with vitamin D for diverse patient populations.
- Strategies to prevent hypoglycemia in diabetes patients during outpatient care as well as in hospital settings.
Diabetes, platelet transfusion and more
The “Emerging Topics in Clinical Guidelines CME Track” track covers seven clinical practice guidelines and best practices.
“Management of Outpatients With Diabetes at High Risk of Hypoglycemia.” These guidelines from the Endocrine Society are aimed at children and adults with diabetes.
“Platelet Transfusion.” These guidelines are based on randomized clinical trials and observational studies evaluating platelet transfusions through 2024.
“Care of Patients With Chronic Venous Disease of the Legs.” These recommendations come from the Society for Vascular Surgery, the American Venous Forum and the American Vein and Lymphatic Society.
“Reporting Guideline for Chatbot Health Advice Studies.” This guideline was developed by the Chatbot Reporting Assessment Tool (CHART) to provide reporting recommendations for studies that evaluate the performance of generative AI-driven chatbots when summarizing clinical evidence and providing health advice. CHART includes 12 items and 39 subitems to promote transparent and comprehensive reporting of chatbot health advice studies.
“Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis and Management of Urinary Tract Infections in Pediatrics and Adults.” These explore more than three dozen questions related to urinary tract infections (UTIs).
