Candidates for the CUC Pilot must demonstrate their involvement in continuing medical education by documenting 90 CME credits (30 urology focused Category 1 credits and 60 Category 1 or 2 credits) within the three-year period between March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2021. For those participating in the 2021 CUC Pilot, the CME requirement is reduced to 70 total CME credits and 10 of those must be Category 1 Credits. Documentation of the requisite CME hours must be sent to the American Board of Urology office by April 1, 2021.
The Alaska State Medical Board requires 50 AMA- or AOA-approved CME credits. For license renewals, at least two of the total hours of CME that are required to qualify for renewal must be specific to pain management and opioid use and addiction. Courses must be category 1 of AMA-approved education or Category 1 or 2 of AOA-approved education. For a podiatrist, it may instead be earned in a continuing medical education program from a provider that is approved by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME).
Continuing Education requirements change often. We monitor the boards regularly to stay current, but if any information appears out of date, contact us and let us know.
