Additional information
How many CE hours do Pennsylvania physicians need?
Pennsylvania physicians need 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years, at least 20 of which must be AMA PRA Category 1 Credit and at least 12 of which must be in patient safety or risk management; the remainder may be AMA PRA Category 1 or Category 2 credit ( PA Department of State — CME Requirements for MD Unrestricted License ).
Renewal falls every two years, with every license expiring December 31 of each even-numbered year, the same date for every physician regardless of when the license was first issued ( PA Department of State — State Board of Medicine Renewal Information ).
Which CE topics are required for Pennsylvania physicians?
Every physician must complete 2 hours of child abuse recognition and reporting CME each renewal, per Act 31, regardless of what other continuing education requirements apply to the licensee ( PA Department of State — Act 31 Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting ). A physician applying for an initial Pennsylvania medical license must also complete a separate 3-hour Act 31 child abuse course before licensure — a one-time requirement tied to first licensure, not to any renewal cycle ( PA Department of State — Medicine Board Licensure Guide ).
Every physician must also complete 12 hours of patient safety and risk management CME each renewal ( PA Department of State — CME Requirements for MD Unrestricted License ).
Every physician must also complete a one-time 2-hour organ and tissue donation awareness training, within 5 years of initial licensure or within 5 years of licensure renewal, whichever comes first, effective May 1, 2026 ( PA Department of State — CME Requirements for MD Unrestricted License ).
A physician who holds a DEA registration must also complete 2 hours of opioid education and pain management CME each renewal, as a prescriber or dispenser under the ABC-MAP program, counted as a portion of the standard 100-hour total rather than owed on top of it; a physician who neither prescribes nor dispenses controlled substances is exempt from this specific topic ( PA Department of State — CME Requirements for MD Unrestricted License ). Separately, a physician applying for an initial Pennsylvania medical license must also complete a one-time 4-hour opioid education course (2 hours on pain management or addiction identification, plus 2 hours on the practices of prescribing or dispensing opioids) within one year of initial licensure — a requirement tied to first licensure, not to any renewal cycle ( PA Department of State — Medicine Board Licensure Guide ).
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 Pennsylvania Board mandate ( DEA Diversion Control Division — MATE Act Training FAQ ).
Do newly licensed Pennsylvania physicians need CE for their first renewal?
No. A physician applying for licensure in Pennsylvania for the first time is exempt from the 100-hour CME requirement for the biennial renewal period in which initial licensure is acquired ( PA Department of State — CME Requirements for MD Unrestricted License ). The separate one-time 3-hour Act 31 child abuse course must still be completed before initial licensure is granted, and the one-time 4-hour opioid education course must still be completed within one year of initial licensure — both are conditions of first licensure itself, independent of the renewal-cycle exemption ( PA Department of State — Medicine Board Licensure Guide ).
Does the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine audit CE records?
Yes. Physicians report CME compliance through the PALS licensing portal at renewal, and the Board may audit licensees to verify compliance. Documentation must be retained for at least 2 years after completing the CME or after the biennial registration for which it was required, whichever is later ( PA Department of State — CME Requirements for MD Unrestricted License ).

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.
