Additional information
How many CE hours do North Carolina physicians need?
North Carolina physicians need 60 hours of Category 1 CME over a rolling three-year cycle. Category 2 credit is not accepted, and excess hours earned in one cycle cannot be carried into the next ( North Carolina Medical Board — CME FAQ ; rule 21 NCAC 32R .0101 ).
This three-year CME cycle runs separately from the license itself, which every physician must renew every year on their own birthday, with a 30-day grace period before a late fee applies ( North Carolina Medical Board — Physician Renewals ). The CME cycle typically begins on a physician's first birthday after initial licensure and then repeats every three years from there, independent of each year's license-renewal action ( North Carolina Medical Board — CME FAQ ).
A physician may be exempt from the 60-hour requirement through participation in Maintenance of Certification or initial board certification with ABMS, AOA, or RCPSC, military service in a combat zone or contingency operation, service on a North Carolina General Assembly House or Senate health committee, or holding a resident training license ( North Carolina Medical Board — CME FAQ ).
Which CE topics are required for North Carolina physicians?
A physician who prescribes controlled substances of any kind must complete 3 of the 60 hours specifically on controlled-substances CME each three-year cycle, covering controlled-substance prescribing practices, recognizing signs of abuse or misuse, and prescribing for chronic pain management ( North Carolina Medical Board — Controlled Substances CME FAQ ; rule 21 NCAC 32R .0101 ).
Physicians holding a DEA registration must also complete a one-time 8-hour DEA MATE Act training on opioid or substance use disorder treatment, per the federal Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act — a federal requirement, not a North Carolina Board mandate ( DEA Diversion Control Division — MATE Act Training FAQ ). A physician who completes MATE Act training is deemed in compliance with the 3-hour controlled-substances CME requirement for the three-year cycle in which the MATE training was completed, so the same training can satisfy both requirements for that cycle ( North Carolina Medical Board — Controlled Substances CME FAQ ).
Do newly licensed North Carolina physicians need CE for their first renewal?
The 60-hour total is due at the end of the three-year CME cycle. A newly licensed physician's CME cycle begins on their first birthday after initial licensure. The medical license still renews annually on the physician's birthday ( North Carolina Medical Board — CME FAQ ).
Does the North Carolina Medical Board audit CE records?
Yes. Physicians self-report their completed CME hours by attestation at each annual renewal, and CME documentation should be kept for 6 years in case of a Board compliance audit ( North Carolina Medical Board — CME FAQ ).

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions related to course packages
What's the benefit of buying a package over individual courses?
So much! Firstly, you'll save a ton of money by bundling your courses together rather than purchasing them individually. Also, we take the guesswork out of it so that you don't need to scour your board's outdated website to figure out which courses you need to take this year – we've already done that for you, and now you can just focus on learning.
Do I need to take all of the courses included in a package to receive credit?
Nope! You're welcome to purchase a package and if you don't need all of them, you can pick and choose which ones you want to take. PRO TIP: if you don't need all of the courses included in the package for this renewal, you can just leave them in your account and take them next time around.
Can I try out a package?
You are more than welcome to sign up for a package to see if it's the right fit for you. If for any reason it is not, you can request to cancel at any time and are welcome to a refund. The only caveat is that you will still be charged for any courses you complete, for which you've already received credit in the form of a certificate of completion and/or reporting to at least 1 board.
If I want a package, do I have to sign up for the auto-renewing subscription
By default, our system will set up the auto-renewing function upon your sign up, however, with just a few clicks you can disable this under your user settings.

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.
