Updates on Virginia CME Requirements
Did you know? As of July 1, you are no longer required by the Virginia Board of Medicine to take 2 hours of opioid CME each year.
It surprised us, so we wanted to make sure our fellow Virginia EPs are up-to-date. Here’s our current CME requirements (as of September 2022):
Total CME: 60 hours over 2 years (requirements)
At least half must be “Type 1,” which is what we typically think of as CME (see the requirements here).
Also, if your hospital is accredited/designated as a Stroke Center, you are required to take 2 hours of CME and NIHSS every two years. There is no CME requirement for Trauma or Cardiac Centers.
Is there more you want to understand about CME requirements? Email our Executive Director, Sarah Marshall.
