150 credits of CME every three calendar years (i.e., within re-election cycle).
The 150 credits must include:
• At least 75 AAFP Prescribed credits.
• The remaining 75 credits may be Prescribed, Elective, or a combination of both.
Credit must be reported in the year credit is earned.
AAFP Prescribed Credits: A CME activity certified for AAFP Prescribed credit means that an application and supporting material were reviewed and approved by AAFP’s CME Credit Systems. The CME activity must be primarily designed for physicians and have an AAFP Active or Life member directly involved in the planning of the activity to ensure the relevance of the content to the specialty of family medicine.
