Continuing Medical Education

Please note: The following information has not been approved or endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics or by the Section on Bioethics.

In some states ethics CME is required for licensure renewal. CME is available on line from various sources.  Texas Medical Association maintains a list of some courses for both online and home studies in ethics for physicians. To receive New England Journal of Medicine cme credit you need not be a subscriber but you must register and there is a fee per exam.  You may also find CME articles from JAMA and from Southern Medical Association. BMJ Learning is a British cme site which includes some modules on ethics. 

This is a listing of some CME links arranged by topic.  Some of these have expiration dates so you might want to check them.
