Navigating the requirements for continuing medical education (CME) can be complex, with each state having its own set of regulations. Virginia, in particular, has detailed requirements that physicians must adhere to for maintaining licensure. Understanding and fulfilling these requirements is crucial for practicing physicians in Virginia.

Virginia CME Requirements for MD and DO Physicians:

  • Total CME Credits: Physicians must complete 60 hours of CME every 2 years.
  • Category 1 Credits: At least 30 of the 60 hours must be Category 1 credits.

By meeting these requirements, Virginia MD and DO physicians ensure that they remain current in their medical practice and provide the best care to their patients. For further details on state CME requirements, please visit the official Federation of State Medical Board documentation
