CME Fee for additional 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™

You must complete your CC requirements first before you will be able to complete the article-based assessments for the extra 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. You will be required to complete supplemental reading assignments and questions to earn the added credit hours. Please note, the extra 10 CME credit hours will not count towards Performance Pathway eligibility or meeting the CC requirements for the year.
Access to CC assignments is allowed when the CC application is approved and payment is received.
CC fees have been computed to cover the administrative expenses associated with the process and cannot be refunded or credited to a future year. Fees are quoted in US dollars and must be paid by credit card through the ABOG website.
