Continuing Medical Education (CME) is a foundational pillar for practicing physicians to maintain their medical license and provide the highest standard of care. In North Dakota, the state medical board has outlined specific CME requirements that vary depending on the duration of licensure. Understanding and fulfilling these requirements is essential for ensuring continuous professional development and compliance with state regulations.

We have simplified the CME requirements for North Dakota MD and DO physicians as follows:

• CME Requirements for Newly Licensed Physicians:some text
  • Licensed < 1 year: No CME is required.
  • Licensed ≥ 1 year and < 2 years: 20 CME hours required.
  • Licensed ≥ 2 years and < 3 years: 40 CME hours required.
• CME Requirements for Established Physicians:some text
  • Licensed ≥ 3 years: 60 CME hours required.
• Term for Completion: The required CME hours must be completed within a 3-year term.
• Type of Credits: All required CME hours must be AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

It's important to note that the requirement escalates as you progress through your career, reflecting the ongoing commitment to learning and patient care excellence.
