Women’s Health is a team effort – so our CME program is all about the ‘big tent’ and designed to be multidisciplinary. In support of improving patient care, the activities on this site have been planned and implemented by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and The ObG Project. Postgraduate Institute for Medicine is jointly accredited by the American Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. In addition, we offer AMA non-physician credits/certificates too. We recommend checking with your professional governing body to determine the applicability of these credits to your particular discipline.
CME is available to our ObGFirst subscription members. 1 hour per month of CME is included, and additional hours can be purchased on-demand by subscribers.
No worries, they don’t expire! Your unused credits will roll over to the next month.
Yes, you keep your earned credits. Also, if you have paid for Continuing Education, you can still take the post-tests and receive your credits – even after the subscription expires.
Identifying eligible entries is easy – just check for a badge on the associated picture. We are trying to make most, if not all, clinical entries available for Continuing Education.
