    • Topics: 30 hours of the required 60 must be earned from courses or programs that are AMA PRA Category 1™ credit or AOA Category 1 CME with the following topical requirements:
      • Primary care physicians who were licensed after July 1, 1996 are required to complete 3 hours of domestic violence CME within 3 years of their initial licensure.
      • There are 4.5 hours of prescribing controlled substances CME for physicians who are authorized to prescribe or distribute controlled substances in Kentucky. This CME is required every three year CME cycle period.
