Remaining Issue of State Societies
  • CCME records specialty CME, but staff are not
    experts in making decisions about what is
    appropriate for specialty CME
  • Some states want specialty credit, some dont
  • Some specialty boards would review, some dont
    have enough staffing
  • Templates help
  • Check lists help
  • Physician Advisors help
  • Not perfect, but currently working
