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.
Verified reviewState requirements for District of Columbia Medical Doctors
All District of Columbia Physicians Need:
- 2 Hours LGBTQ Cultural Competency
- 5 Hours Public Health Priorities
- At Least 1 Course in Pharmacology (Must Be Maintained, Not Hour-Based)
Some District of Columbia 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 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PHYSICIANS NEED?
District of Columbia physicians need 50 hours of AMA PRA Category 1 or Category 1-equivalent continuing education every two years ( D.C. Municipal Regulations, Title 17, Chapter 46 — Medicine ). You may complete all 50 hours online with an on-demand Complete District of Columbia CME Physician Package
Since June 16, 2024, the District of Columbia Board of Medicine has renewed licenses on an individualized birth-month cycle: every credential now expires on the last day of the holder's birth month, in an odd or even year depending on the holder's birth year ( District of Columbia Board of Medicine ).
WHICH CE TOPICS ARE REQUIRED FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PHYSICIANS?
Every physician must complete 2 hours of LGBTQ cultural competency training each renewal period, covering clinical skills, health disparities, and confidentiality practices for LGBTQ patients ( D.C. Official Code § 3-1205.10 ).
Every physician must also complete 5 hours in public health priorities designated by the Department of Health, drawn from a defined set of topics such as opioid prescribing, violence and abuse identification, and emergency preparedness, plus at least one course in pharmacology each renewal period ( District of Columbia Board of Medicine ).
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 District of Columbia Board mandate ( DEA Diversion Control Division — MATE Act Training FAQ ).
DO NEWLY LICENSED DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PHYSICIANS NEED CE FOR THEIR FIRST RENEWAL?
No. The Board allows a one-time exemption from all CE requirements at a physician's first license renewal, self-attested by selecting the exempt option in the renewal portal with no supporting documentation required ( District of Columbia Board of Medicine ).
DOES THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BOARD OF MEDICINE AUDIT CE RECORDS?
Yes. The Board audits at least 1% of active licensees each year at random, giving audited physicians 30 days to respond with certificates showing the program name, location, subject, dates, hours, and sponsor ( D.C. Municipal Regulations, Title 17, Chapter 46 — Medicine ).
