| Description | Affects |
|---|---|
"The AOA credit system has four main categories: 1A (osteopathic live interactive) 1B (osteopathic enduring materials), 2A (non-osteopathic live interactive), 2B (non-osteopathic enduring materials). In addition, we track which specialty board recognizes each program as meeting specialty/subspecialty education requirements." Mike Zarski, AOA | activityCertification |
"we do offer AAP credit, so that is a valid credit type. I'm struggling about how to address the "AAP PREP" item you listed below. We have a "CME/CPD Award" that is provided to our members who earn 150 credits over three years. If I'm recalling correctly, this award used to be called "PREP Education Award." But, that wasn't a "credit-type." So, I don't think "AAP PREP" needs to be listed in the spec." Deborah Samuel, AAP | activityCertification |
| "We have not changed the categories you have listed below YET. The next change on the horizon will probably be one made to deal with the new Scope of Practice license levels (Emergency Medical Responder Emergency Medical Technician, Advanced Emergency Medical Technician, and Paramedic); however, nothing has been decided yet." Liz Sibley, Executive Director - CECBEMS | activityCertification |
| The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada accredits CME and provides categories for activities: group learning, assessment, self-directed learning, and performance assessment. But learners don't receive credit for these activities until they are documented in Mainport. | accreditingBody, activityCertification |
