CME requirements with full medical license?

[Blade28]

So now that I've finally got my state medical license, do I have to start earning CME credits? Where can I find out what the requirements are?

Most states have exceptions for people in training. If you stay where you are, or apply for a new state license after residency, they may ask you for proof of CME. Generally, all it takes for the exception is a two line letter from your PD stating you were in residency during period x-y.

Here is the link for your state: http://www.ganet.org/meb/ced_info.html (which shows the exception for those in GME programs.)

NB: in the link above there is some curious profession called "auricular detoxification". Are people's ears particularly toxic in Ga?

Thanks KC, that helps a lot!

Have you started keeping track of your CME credits now that you're a big bad attending?

Yes...I even made a file to keep the certificates in, so when it comes time to show my documentation, I have it handy. Let's see how long this organization lasts!
