We all know the importance of continuing medical education for physicians, physician associates, and nurse practitioners. But we also know that sometimes you just need to earn a lot of CME credits quickly. The reality is annual reporting deadlines sneak up and CME stipends expire, gone into thin air if not used on time.

The good news is that there is no need to compromise when it comes to maintaining your medical licence and furthering your medical knowledge. Even if you haven’t logged any CME credits all year, the right CME course can keep the paper pushers satisfied and your clinical interests engaged.

Best of all, you’ll be able to just as quickly take care of next year’s CME requirements simultaneously. How? With an  online CME subscription!

There are quite a few out there these days, so you'll want to  consider the features and benefits before diving in.

Here's what to look for in a CME subscription service.

CME Credit Earning Rate

Not all subscription CME courses make it easy to earn a lot of credits quickly. If this is important to you, one with a broad range of topics and a multimedia format seem to be the most efficient.

Amount of Overall CME Credits

Ideally, your CME subscription will show you to earn all the credits you could ever want. Look for one that is updated with new content frequently enough to make you feel like you are getting the much better end of the deal.

Cost-Effectiveness

If you went for a CME subscription with unlimited credit opportunities, you are already ahead of the have. If the medical content in the subscription is updated at least monthly, you can work your way down to a miniscule cost per credit.

Subscription Length

A one year subscription should be the minimum, though there are shorter options out there if that fits your needs better. Two year subscriptions are great, because they give you the option to add on to your current plan with another the following year once your CME stipend resets.

Verdict

Which online CME subscription fits all the criteria? If you ask me, it’s  CMEinfo Insider. It offers unlimited CME credits, which can be earned quickly via written summaries, video lectures, and audio recordings covering 19 specialties. New content is added every month and your subscription can be purchased and extended for up to 3 years at a time, making it one of the most cost-effective CME options anywhere online. It’s also at the top of the list of most convenient online CME subscriptions, according to Modern MedEd.
