CME Issues—Who’s Tracking Your Credits? 

Physicians receive license renewal packets that direct them to call CE Broker for a subscription to handle their CE credits.  However, local MECOP can also track your CME credits.   

The Florida Board of Medicine accepts MECOP’s notarized CME report in response to any physician audit. Physicians are exempt from reporting exclusively through CE Broker. Physicians can self-report to CE Broker without a fee. However, you cannot access what CE Broker has in your file without a $35 fee. To contact the local MECOP office call (850) 477-4956.

 To determine your license expiration for both MD or DO, go to:

From tobacco to adolescent health, from AIDS to Medicare, the American Medical Association (AMA) speaks out on issues important to patients and the nation's health. AMA policy on such issues is decided through its democratic policy-making process, in the AMA House of Delegates, which meets twice a year.

The House is comprised of physician delegates representing every state; nearly 100 national medical specialty societies; federal service agencies, including the Surgeon General of the United States; and six sections representing hospital and clinic staffs, resident physicians, medical students, young physicians, medical schools and international medical graduates.

The AMA’s envisioned future is to be an essential part of the professional life of every physician and an essential force for progress in improving the nation’s health.
