Look at what CME you have completed (for active licenses)

1. Do you have 100 credits hours?
2. Are 12 credit hours in patient safety or risk management?
3. Are 2 credit hours in pain management, identification of addiction, or the prescribing of opioids?
   1. Opioids credits are not required if the licensee does not have a DEA registration number and does not prescribe under another individual or entity’s DEA registration
4. Are 2 credit hours in state-approved child abuse recognition and reporting?

Important Note on Child Abuse: 

Important Note on Opioids: 

While PAMED is a course vendor for the opioid education, we do not have permission to report opioid training to the licensing boards. 🛑 Licensees must self-report or self-attest to completion as follows:

• Initial license applicants should report opioids training documentation verifying they have completed the required 4 hours of opioids education through their PALS profile within 12 months of the initial license being issued. If you locate the “Activities” section of the PALS profile, you can click the blue plus sign next to the application number to view the application checklist and guidance for uploading documents to the Boards.  
• Renewing licensees attest through the license renewal process that they have completed the required 2 hours of opioids education by answering specific questions related to CME requirements. Renewing licensees do not routinely upload any documentation at the time of renewal; the licensee will receive a discrepancy notice from PALS if documentation is required or clarification is needed related to the education requirements or any other information.
