CMEA News

As of August 1, 2008, the AAFP's CMEA review fees increased. A discount for non-profit CME providers is available. This was the first increase in four years.

Re-Review of Applications
Applications that need to be re-reviewed by AAFP after the CME provider receives official credit approval will be charged a processing fee of $100. Learn more.

Rush Fee
CME providers have the option to pay a rush fee of $500 plus the review fee for their CME application to be reviewed faster than the standard 30 business days. Learn more.

Use updated CME applications online. These applications no longer require signatures from the activity director and the input family physician. Attestation is still required.

In April 2009, our application submission process will be online, making it possible to apply for and receive CME credit approval even more efficiently.

AAFP Web Site: At this time, only live CME activities approved for AAFP CME credit are listed automatically in the AAFP's CME Center. In the future, all CME activities will be listed. However, CME providers will have the ability to opt out of listing their CME activities in the AAFP's CME Center.

Membership List: CME providers may purchase the AAFP's membership list. Contact Kerry Tranfa with INFOCUS at 800-708-5478 ext. 3246 or ktranfa@infocuslists.com.

Ad Space: CME providers may purchase ad space in American Family Physician (AFP) journal. Contact Ann Locke at 800-237-7027.

AAFP has been continuing to work on improvements to the AAFP EB CME process. There are no longer "AAFP-Approved EB CME Sources" that faculty must use when seeking AAFP EB CME designation. Faculty may now use any source that they believe is a respected, peer-reviewed journal or other evidence-based medicine (EBM) source that provides important information based on solid scientific evidence. The strength of evidence must be included in the faculty's documentation.
