Credits

We are accredited to provide CME credits for nurse practitioners (NP’s), physicians (MD/DO/MBBS/etc), and physician associates (PA’s).  CME is interchangeable for 14 Nurse Practitioner continuing education (CE) hours, and also includes 10 emergency procedure hours and 1.5 pharmacology hours.  Anyone completing our programs may claim CME credits!

The AAFP has reviewed the Physician Skills and Procedures Series, and deemed it acceptable for AAFP credit. Term of approval is from 05/01/2026 to 04/30/2027. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

This activity will satisfy the requirements for Category I credits from the American Academy of Physician Associates.  AAFP credits are interchangeable with the AAPA and the NCCPA on a one-to-one basis and are equivalent to AAPA Category 1 credits for Physician Associates.  Nurse Practitioners may also apply AAFP credits toward Continuing Education hours with all Nurse Practitioner Boards.  Nurse Practitioners will also receive designated Pharmacology and Emergency Procedure credits for this program.
