CME Coursework
CME Credit
CTC-RI is now offering CME credits for select meetings, including asynchronous viewing of meeting recordings.
The AAFP has reviewed the following Breakfast of Champions and Clinical Strategy Meetings and deemed them acceptable for AAFP credit. Videos of each meeting, along with materials, are listed below. AAFP Prescribed credit is accepted by the American Medical Association as equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. When applying for the AMA PRA, Prescribed credit earned must be reported as Prescribed credit, not as Category 1.
