Using UpToDate, either the app or the website, can help physicians, nurses, and other health care providers earn CME credits. In order to earn and keep track of CMEs you will need to be logged-in to UpToDate whenever you use it.

When you are logged-in to UpToDate, check the green CME link on the top of the screen to see how many credits you have earned. Click on the link and it will allow you to select the type of CME credits you would like to accumulate (AMA PRA Category 1, etc.) and provide additional information about submitting your earned credits for a CME certificate.

Below you will find a brochure from UpToDate that walks you through the process of earning and redeeming CME credits. You can also consult their FAQ: https://www.uptodate.com/home/help-faq-cme-ce
