CME Credit

This activity has been reviewed and is acceptable for up to 32 Prescribed credits by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Of these credits, 11.25 conform to the AAFP criteria for evidence-based CME clinical content. CME credit has been increased to reflect the 2 for 1 credit for only the EB CME portion. When reporting AAFP credit, claim total Prescribed credit for this activity. It is not necessary to label credit as evidence-based CME for reporting purposes.

The EB CME credit awarded for this activity was based on a current clinical question that identifies gaps in learners’ knowledge, competency and/or performance in medical practice as identified in the current evidence available at the time this activity was approved. Since clinical research is ongoing and new evidence to supporting practice improvement is constant, the AAFP recommends that learners verify sources and review these as well as practice recommendations prior to implementation into practice.

The AAFP is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American Academy of Family Physicians designates this education activity for a maximum of 21.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
