What is CME Credit?

For physicians, CME refers to educational activities that have been approved by the regulatory authority. CME credits are important for physicians to maintain their licenses, certifications, credentials, memberships, and other professional privileges. Many U.S. states require a specified number of credits annually to maintain medical licenses, and most hospitals require a specified number of credits for their physicians to remain credentialed to see patients. In the United States, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) accredits organizations that provide CME credits for physicians.
