If this is the first time you’ve logged CME since passing PANCE, you may log any CME earned as of the date your certification was issued through December 31 of the year your certification expires (approximately two years later) and submit the certification maintenance fee by December 31 of the year your certification expires.

Special Guidelines for New Certification Holders (For example, PA-C designees whose certification expires in 2020 must-have earned their CME between and December 31, 2020.) Your CME earning and logging window begins May 1 of the year your current certification was issued and continues through December 31 of the certification expiration year. Also, the first 20 PI-CME credits logged during every two-year cycle will be doubled when logged with NCCPA.

We will award 50% additional credit for all activities designated for self-assessment Category I CME credit (i.e., a self-assessment activity worth 10 credits will be converted to 15 credits by NCCPA). While these types are no longer required as part of the 50 credits, we recognize the value of these very interactive types of CME, and will weigh these types of CME more heavily. Two types of Category I CME are self-assessment CME and PI-CME. The remaining 50 credits can be Category I, Category II or a combination of both. PT, December 31 of your certification expiration year.ĭuring each of those two-year cycles, you must earn and log at least 100 CME credits, including at least 50 Category I CME credits.
