How do you usually satisfy your CME requirement?

Members don't see this ad.

I'm a new attending, looking into different ways to obtain CME. For the seasoned attendings, how do you usually get your CME requirement? Self study? Conferences? combination?

I have 5 days off for CME related events so ideally id like to use those. Many events are virtual now which is fine, but not sure how to find out all the options? Ive gotten some ads through the mail so i know about those, beyond that, no clue. I have interest in a few topics but not sure where to look to find potential events involving them.

Can you satisfy CME from doing activities online, such as NEJM?

thanks

AFP quizzes.

If you're an AAFP member you have to get 25 live hours every 3 years, so I usually do have to do about two conferences in that span of time. I have to say, covid has been great for this because most of those conferences are now live streams.

Live stream was awesome this year. It also coincided with deer season, I really enjoyed “listening” while on a tree stand.

My time zone didn't work out that way, but that's awesome.

Any luck this year?

Shot 10, recovered 5; bad year
Downed a 10 point, as I was approaching from maybe 5 feet away, jumped off and staggered off. Looked and tracked for 3 hrs without any luck!

I do the 2 national DO conferences (OMED and ACOFP) which were virtual this year. Some small local FP conferences and the remaining I turn in my UpToDate CME accrued.
