What must an organization do in order to certify and award AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for educational activities?  \nIn order to certify activities for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and award credit to physicians that complete the certified activities the organization must:  \na. Plan and implement educational activities that meet all of the AMA PRA core requirements and the format-specific requirements for the chosen AMA approved learning format. For information on these requirements refer to the AMA PRA informational [booklet at www.ama-assn.org/go/prabooklet](booklet at www.ama-assn.org/go/prabooklet); and  \nb. Be a U.S. based organization that is accredited by either the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) or an ACCME-recognized state medical society (SMS) . To learn more about becoming accredited and/or to find a list of accredited CME providers, please visit the ACCME Web site ([http://www.accme.org/](http://www.accme.org/)) .  \n2. What is certified CME?  \nCertified CME is defined as:  \na. Nonpromotional learning activities certified for credit prior to the activity by an organization authorized by the credit system owner, or  \nb. Nonpromotional learning activities for which the credit system owner directly awards credit  \nCertified CME encompasses all activities certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ by ACCME/SMS accredited CME providers, activities certified through the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) or American Osteopathic Association (AOA) credit systems, and activities certified directly by the AMA for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ or through one of the AMA’s international agreements.  \n3. How does the AMA monitor compliance with the AMA PRA Credit System requirements?  \nThe AMA monitors for compliance with AMA PRA credit system requirements through the ACCME/SMS accreditation self study process, the investigation of complaints received and the review of information found in the public domain. Whenever warranted, the AMA will proceed with follow-up inquiries to ascertain and address compliance with AMA PRA credit system requirements. In most cases, the AMAis able to assist accredited CME providers with finding strategies that will bring their program and activities into compliance with AMA PRA standards.  \nThe AMA reserves the right to withdraw an accredited CME provider’s privilege to certify activities for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ should the accredited CME provider fail to bring the program and activities into compliance with AMA PRA policies, regardless of accreditation status.  \n4. How Is AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ calculated for each activity format?  \nLive Activities  \n•  Credit designation: Credit for live activities is calculated based on the length of time of the activity (excluding non-educational portions such as breaks) . Credit is designated in 15 minute, or 0.25 credit increments, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. The minimum number of credits is 0.25, but there is not a maximum limit to the number of credits that can be designated for live activities.  \n•  Claiming credit: Physicians claim credit based on their individual participation time, up to the designated maximum for the activity, and should do so in 15 minute, or 0.25 credit, increments and round to the nearest quarter hour.  \nEnduring Materials  \n•  Credit designation: Credit for enduring materials is calculated based on a legitimate estimate of the amount of time it will take a physician to complete the activity and satisfy its objectives and/or purpose. Credit is designated in 15 minute, or 0.25 credit, increments, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. The minimum number of credits is 0.25 but there is not a maximum limit to the number of credits that can be designated for enduring materials.  \n•  Claiming credit: Physicians who successfully complete the activity may claim the full amount of credit for which the activity is d","cbCaiaGxaIdJduwO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaGxaIdJduwO","pdf",354385,"English","# General Questions\n## Certification requirements for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™\n## Definition of certified CME\n## Compliance monitoring\n## Credit calculation by learning format\n## Eligibility for credit","[{\"question\":\"What must an organization do to certify and award AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™?\",\"answer\":\"It must plan and implement educational activities meeting AMA PRA core and format-specific requirements, and it must be a U.S.-based organization accredited by ACCME or an ACCME-recognized state medical society (SMS).\"},{\"question\":\"How does the AMA monitor compliance with AMA PRA Credit System requirements?\",\"answer\":\"Compliance is monitored through the ACCME/SMS accreditation self-study process, investigation of received complaints, and review of information in the public domain.
