Each state has its own state CME requirements to fulfill – some depend on the amount of CME you earn, others center more on your educational hours. It can be hard to keep track. Alaska requires a lot of CME credits and mandates that you split some of your credits between designated subjects. And trying to keep track of all these requirements may be tedious for you.
For your convenience, we at GIBLIB have curated all your state CME required topics and credits in one blog. Now, you can fulfill some of your CME needs in one place. Review your requirements and watch videos linked below that will fulfill them. Use our easy-to-access resource to make fulfilling your requirements less of a chore.
For both Alaska MD and DO physicians, you’ll need to fulfill the following:
“50 hours every 2 years; all must be AMA Category 1 or AOA Category 1 or 2. Physician may not be exempted from more than 15 hours of continuing education in a five-year period. For each licensee who holds a DEA number, at least 2 hours must be in pain management and opioid use and addiction.” – FSMB
