Journal-Based CME

A journal-based CME activity is a non-live CME activity that must comply with all ACCME Essential Areas and Elements including the Standards for Commercial Support and Accreditation Policies.  It's an activity that includes the reading of an article (or adapted formats for special needs), a provider stipulated/learner directed phase (that may include reflection, discussion, or debate about the material contained in the article), and a requirement for the completion by the learner of a pre-determined set of questions or tasks relating to the content of the material as part of the learning process. 

In addition to the application requirements, journal-based CME activities must adhere to the following requirements:

  • The learner must document participation in the journal-based CME activity to receive CME credit.
  • The learner must not encounter advertising within the pages of the article or within the pages of the related questions or evaluation materials.
