State Educational Requirements for Medical Licensing

by Patrick C. Alguire, MD, FACP
Director, Education and Career Development

States differ in their requirements for licensing. Some states require the physician earn CME credits, while others do not. Even among the states that demand documentation of CME, the amount per year varies, as does the type. For example, some states may require CME credits in specific educational categories such as domestic violence, HIV infection, or quality assurance, whereas others do not specify.
