Automated Credit Transmission

To simplify and streamline MOC and CME reporting, the AMA is collaborating with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to report physician participation in accredited CME activities to certain state and specialty medical boards.

If you are a licensed physician through one or more of the state medical boards mentioned below, CME credits for successfully completed AMA activities offered via the AMA Ed Hub, including CME from the JAMA Network™, will be automatically transferred on your behalf to the following boards:

• Alabama Board of Medical Examiners
• Maryland Board of Physicians
• Medical Board of California and Osteopathic Medical Board of California
• Oregon Medical Board
• Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners
• North Carolina Medical Board
• North Dakota Board of Medicine
• Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine and the Maine Board of Osteopathic Licensure
• Virgin Islands Board of Medical Examiners

Additionally, CME credits for successfully completed AMA activities offered via AMA Ed Hub, including CME from the JAMA Network™ will be automatically transmitted to the boards for the purpose of earning MOC credit/points if you are board certified through one or more of the specialty medical boards mentioned below:

• American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM)
• American Board of Pediatrics (ABP)
• American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS)
• American Board of Pathology (ABPath)
• American Board of Surgery (ABS)

If you do not wish to have your CME information automatically transferred on your behalf, you can opt-out by updating your preferences.

How it works

Automatic CME credit transfer to specialty boards (ABIM, ABP, ABOHNS, ABPath, ABS): After you successfully complete and claim AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for a JAMA Network Continuing Medical Education CME activity on JN Learning™ or JN Listen™, or an eligible AMA activity, the associated CME activity information will be automatically transferred to the ACCME Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS) which will in turn send them to the respective board(s), ABIM, ABP, ABOHNS and/or ABS. This is part of the ABIM MOC Assessment Recognition Program, the ABP Lifelong Learning and Self-assessment CME Provider Program, the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery's Continuing Certification Program, the American Board of Pathology Continuing Certification Program and the American Board of Surgery’s Continuous Certification Program, whereby ABIM, ABP, ABOHNS, ABPath and ABS recognize accredited CME activities which have met their requirements for MOC points.

Automatic CME credit transfer to state boards (Alabama, Virgin Islands, Maryland, California, Oregon, Tennessee, North Carolina, North Dakota, or Maine): A process similar to the one described above applies to all CME credits successfully earned from any JAMA Network and AMA activity available on the AMA Ed Hub. All completed CME information is automatically transmitted to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners, the Virgin Islands Board of Medical Examiners, the Maryland Board of Physicians, the Medical Board of California and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, the Oregon Medical Board, the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners, the North Carolina Medical Board, the North Dakota Board of Medicine, the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine and/or the Maine Board of Osteopathic Licensure via ACCME's Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS).

Ability to opt out: If your board ID number is listed under our reporting preferences section, you do not need to do anything to enable these transfers. You can always opt out by clicking on the link below and updating your preferences.
