About Continuing Medical Education (CME)

OSU's community preceptors receive documentation annually of their teaching contact hours. This letter provides the information needed for physicians to request and receive CME hours from Category II AMA or AOA Category I-B. A variety of opportunities for Category I and I-A are made available through the OSU Center for Continuing Medical Education (CCME). Among them are the web-based programs that can either be viewed live or by using the convenient video-on-demand option. All active OSU preceptors have access to the online CME at no charge.
