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 CE Broker 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 Virginia Medical Doctors
All Virginia Medical Doctors Need:
Bias Reduction Training - Hours to be set by the Board (Every Renewal, beginning with renewals on or after October 1, 2026) (Virginia Board of Medicine must still promulgate and adopt official regulations for this requirement)
Some Virginia Medical Doctors Also Need:
8 Hours DEA MATE Training on Opioid or Substance Use Disorder - If Holding a DEA Registration (One Time Only)
Cover your 30 hours with the Virginia medical doctor CME package .
How many CME hours do Virginia medical doctors need?
Virginia medical doctors need 30 hours of Type 1 CME every two years, and your license renews in your birth month of every even-numbered year ( 18VAC85-20-235 ; 18VAC85-20-230 ). Type 1 hours must come from an accredited sponsor or an organization sanctioned by the profession, and the rule sets no live or in-person minimum, so you can finish all 30 hours online with the Virginia medical doctor CME package , which awards 30 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Also see Virginia osteopathic physician CME .
Which CME topics are required for Virginia medical doctors?
The Board of Medicine names no required course topic for every physician, so the 30 hours can be earned in any Type 1 subject ( 18VAC85-20-235 ). Starting with renewals on or after October 1, 2026, every Virginia physician must also complete bias reduction training at each biennial renewal under Va. Code Section 54.1-2928.4 . The Board sets the number of hours by regulation, and the Virginia Board of Medicine must still promulgate and adopt official regulations for this requirement. The first training covers how implicit and explicit racial bias affect care during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period, and later cycles cover practice-related content the Board designates, including sickle cell disease. A physician with a DEA registration also completes a one-time federal 8-hour DEA MATE training course , which is a federal requirement and not a Virginia Board mandate ( DEA MATE Act FAQ ).
Do new Virginia medical doctors need CME for their first renewal?
No. A physician is exempt from the continued competency requirements at the first biennial renewal after initial licensure in Virginia ( 18VAC85-20-235 ).
Does the Virginia Board of Medicine audit CME records?
Yes. You attest to your hours at renewal without sending documentation, and the Board randomly selects licensees for an audit after renewal. Keep your records for six years ( 18VAC85-20-235 ; Virginia Board of Medicine FAQ ).
