Most states have very specific CME requirements that physicians licensed in that state are required to fulfill. Florida CME Requirements are determined by the Florida Board of Medicine.
The Florida Board of Medicine requires licensed physicians in Florida to earn 40 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM every year. Of these 40 credits, 2 must be on Medical Error and 2 of the credits must be on Domestic Violence during every 3rd renewal period. In addition Rule 64B8-13.005, F.A.C determines that the CME activities used to meet Florida CME requirements must include information on the 5 most misdiagnosed conditions.
Physicians licensed in Florida that are in their first renewal period have a different set of CME requirements. If you fall under this category, you are required to earn 2 CME credits on Preventing Medical Errors and 1 CME credit on HIV/AIDS instead of the general Florida CME requirements.
Below you will find some of the top CME courses that will help you meet the different Florida CME requirements.
