Texas State Continuing Medical Education (CME) Requirements

Credit amount: Texas requires 48 CME hours per licensure cycle, half of which must be Category 1 or Category 1A CME courses.

Physicians licensed for the first time in the state of Texas will be assigned an initial licensure period of either 12 or 24 months—see details on the Texas Medical Board's registration and renewal page.

Licensure cycle: Biennial. Following the initial 12-or 24-month licensure cycle, licenses that end in an even number expire in years that end in an even numbered year and licenses that end in an odd number expire in odd numbered years.
Topics: 24 of the 48 required credit hours must be earned from courses or programs that are Category 1 or Category 1A CME with the following topical requirements: 2 hours of Category 1 or Category 1A CME on medical ethics and/or professional responsibility; 2 hours of Category 1 or Category 1A CME on alternative pain management treatment options and/or opioid and controlled substance prescribing and monitoring, and completion of a human trafficking prevention course.

CME requirements listed above were updated based on information from the Texas Medical Board (TMB), but education requirements do change. Due to COVID-19, certain states may have modified their licensure requirements. Physicians should confirm Texas' current requirements on the TMB's Continuing Medical Education for MDs/DOs page.
