I was wondering if I should list the CME programs I have attended on my AMCAS application. Has anyone else done this in the past? If so, what did you list it under?

If you mean stuff like BLS, ACLS, PALS, etc. Yeah I put those on there. Just regular old CME classes no I did not.

Edit: I can't remember where in the application I put that stuff. I thought there may have been a place for "other skills and qualifications" or something of the like.
 
I listed things I did on a regular basis or at least annually. We have a local journal club to discuss EMS/EM research that meets monthly, also I go to the JEMS conference every year as well as a local 2-day trauma symposium. I put all those on there. The other random stuff I did not. Interestingly, every school I interviewed at asked me about the journal club. I'm glad I included it!
