The AAFP encourages CME providers to identify EB CME elements in promotional and educational materials by labeling the elements with the AAFP EB CME logo displayed at the top of this page. It is appropriate to use the logo only upon official notification that the AAFP COCPD has determined CME clinical content conforms to AAFP EB CME criteria. The logo and optional text are available through the links on the left. Please contact the CME Accreditation Department at (866)274-7850 if you need the logo in a different format.
