State requirements for Connecticut Medical Doctors
All Connecticut Physicians Need:
- 1 Hour Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS
- 1 Hour Risk Management and Controlled Substance Prescribing
- 1 Hour Sexual Assault
- 1 Hour Domestic Violence
- 1 Hour Cultural Competency
- 2 Hours Veteran and Behavioral Health
Some Connecticut Physicians Also Need:
- 8 Hours DEA MATE Training on Opioid or Substance Use Disorder — If Holding a DEA Registration (One Time Only)
HOW MANY CE HOURS DO CONNECTICUT PHYSICIANS NEED?
Connecticut physicians need 50 contact hours of continuing medical education in the 24 months preceding each renewal, though the license itself renews every year by the last day of your birth month ( Connecticut General Statutes § 20-10b ).
Connecticut's continuing medical education statute doesn't distinguish between AMA and AOA-accredited credit — approved CME satisfies the requirement regardless of whether a physician trained as an MD or a DO ( Connecticut General Statutes § 20-10b ).
WHICH CE TOPICS ARE REQUIRED FOR CONNECTICUT PHYSICIANS?
Every physician must complete one hour each in infectious disease and HIV/AIDS, risk management (including controlled substance prescribing and pain management), sexual assault, domestic violence, and cultural competency, plus at least 2 hours on behavioral health, including veteran-specific mental health topics such as PTSD, suicide risk, and grief. This bundle is due at a physician's first renewal and then again at least once every six years ( Connecticut General Statutes § 20-10b ).
Physicians holding a DEA registration must also complete a one-time 8-hour DEA MATE Training on Opioid or Substance Use Disorder , per the federal MATE Act — not a Connecticut Board mandate ( DEA Diversion Control Division — MATE Act Training FAQ ).
DO NEWLY LICENSED CONNECTICUT PHYSICIANS NEED CE FOR THEIR FIRST RENEWAL?
Yes. The topic-specific bundle above is due at a physician's first renewal, and the standard 50-hour requirement applies from that point forward ( Connecticut General Statutes § 20-10b ).
DOES THE CONNECTICUT MEDICAL EXAMINING BOARD AUDIT CE RECORDS?
Yes. The Department of Public Health may request documentation of completed CME, which licensees must produce within 45 days; records and certificates of completion must be retained for six years ( Connecticut General Statutes § 20-10b ).

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Verified reviewEnjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
