    Louisiana State Continuing Medical Education (CME) Requirements

    • Credit amount: Louisiana requires 20 hours of Category 1 CME credits per licensure cycle.
    • Licensure cycle: Annual.
    • Topics: Louisiana physicians must complete a board sponsored/approved orientation program within their first renewal period following licensure. Authorized Prescribers of Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS) must complete 3 hours of Category 1 or board-approved CME within their first renewal period following licensure.
      • Physicians must complete a 3 hour CME course on drug diversion training, best prescribing practices of controlled substances and appropriate treatment for addiction. In addition, licensees are required to complete a one-time board orientation course to acquaint new licensees with the Louisiana Medical Practice Act, the function of the board and its rules, opportunities available in rural and underserved communities.

    CME requirements listed above were updated based on information from the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners (LSBME), but education requirements do change. Due to COVID-19, certain states may have modified their licensure requirements. Physicians should confirm Louisiana's current requirements on the LSBME's Laws page.
