  • In order to receive credit, there must be a learning component involved as you prepare to teach.
  • It must be the first time you're teaching the content in order for it to count toward CME credit.
  • Credit is calculated on a ratio as set forth by the American Medical Association (AMA). For more information, please contact our office at CME@ucdavis.edu.
