To claim Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits and Maintenance of Certification points, please follow these steps:
Upon completion of the evaluation, you can claim credits based on your credit preferences set up at the time you first accessed education@endocrine.org.
If you do not see ENDO 2023 in your Courses list, please contact info@endocrine.org.
The Endocrine Society is accredited specifically to provide CME credit in the form of AMA PRA Category 1 Credit. Per the American Medical Association, “AMA PRA credit may only be claimed by, and awarded to, physicians, defined by the AMA as individuals who have completed an allopathic (MD), osteopathic (DO) or an equivalent medical degree from another country.” While we acknowledge that accrediting bodies accept AMA PRA Category 1 Credit, the Society cannot award this credit type to other healthcare professionals as the accreditation we hold is specifically for physician CME.
In the hopes of finding an alternative approach, we created the participation credit several years ago, which notes AMA PRA Category 1 Credit eligibility on its certificate for the learner to submit to their profession’s accrediting body. This approach has been confirmed as acceptable by other CME accrediting bodies. All individuals interested in claiming credit to be submitted as CME to their accrediting body should claim Participation credit.
