CME Opportunities
 

A free CME offering is now available through the AMA for you to complete online. As physicians, you spend much of your time taking care of others. This program offers guidance specifically for you on how to take care of yourself in the midst of your busy lifestyle.

There are ongoing Continuing Medical Education Opportunities available through the Network for Continuing Education (NCME) at www.ncme.com. They use multiple formats for delivery of CMEs to suit the needs of providers in major metropolitian hospitals and those in rural locations helping them stay up-to-date with medical training and licensure renewal requirements. 

Additional ongoing continuing education opportunities are available through HRSA. By registering for a username and password, you can take advantage of their quickly and easily accessible online educational presentations offered through TRAIN free of charge. Many are credit-bearing and will be noted as such when registering. CME, CEU, CE, CNE, and CHE credits are available for many programs.  

In an effort to further share rural health learning content and encourage increased networking and collaboration between rural health professionals, AHEC would like to encourage you to check out Rural Health Professions Institute (RHPI) would invite you to take a look at the rural health offerings on MyVeHU Campus found at www.myvehucampus.com. These offerings directly align with AHECs mission in supporting rural health professionals with relevant continuing education offerings. Registration is fee and easy.

2013 will have several local CME and CEU events scheduled. Look for details here about the Great Physician Debate, The Cardiovascular Update & others. Dates and details will be shared as the programs draw near.
