Physician CME Requirements in the State of Wisconsin AMA Category 1 Credit™

Physicians (MDs or DOs) licensed in the State of Wisconsin are required by the State Medical Examining Board (MEB) to obtain thirty (30) AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ or AOA credits every biennium. This biennium cycle is from January 1, even years to December 31, odd years. Physicians are required to sign an attestation statement with license renewal stating they have obtained these 30 credits. Approximately 5% of all licensed physicians will be randomly audited to provide documentation of the credits earned. The MEB suggests physicians keep copies of all attendance certificates for at least the last two years. To contact the MEB, please refer to our resources page. NOTE: If you have done 3 consecutive months of ACGME approved training between 1/1 even years – 12/31 odd years you may count this as your 30 hours of continuing education.
