Am I correct in thinking we get CME credits for both the written and oral ABEM board exams? Anyone know how many credits?

And how do I claim them?

It’s state by state. In mine, a board exam counts for 1 year of cme, so you’re good for 1 yr after boards. Check with your state board.

I think it's 60 AMA category 1 credits. Here is the site: Claim CME Credit for Medical Education Activities | AMA. This is the actual form: https://www.ama-assn.org/sites/defa.../physicians/cme/direct-credit-application.pdf. You must have completed board certification within the last 6 years.

Am I reading this site right, we get 20 cme credits per year of residency completed as well?
