Monte Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hello, I'm completing a NRCME DOT certification course that says it counts for cat 1 CME. When I go to log the hours on the NCCPA website it isn't listed as a pre-approved program. Anyone know if it just doesn't count or if it's just a cat 2? Thanks!

Administrator rev ronin Posted March 25, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 25, 2019 The vast majority of Cat 1 CME is not preapproved. The preapproved list starts with standardized things like PALS and ACLS and extends quite a bit from there, but most Cat 1 simply needs to be manually entered.

sas5814 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I'd be a bit cautious of non-approved Cat I CME. If you get audited and the NCCPA disallows it you could be in a pinch. You may get audited for last year and, after something is disallowed, may not have submitted enough to keep you certified. Just be sure before you bank on it.

ArmyPA Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 At the end of my course I got a certificate for 10 AMA CAT I CME... As a side note I was audited by NCCPA this year, my second cycle so I would not claim CAT I without a certificate. So far all of my CME has been CAT I and I have made sure to have Certificates of training to back it up. Of course my audit took all of 5 minutes as the US Army Flight Surgeon Course was good for 150 hours of CAT I CME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas5814 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I had to laugh only because it is true. So many fat old out of shape drivers who want to blame the examiner because they can't pass a physical and act like its your fault they have uncontrolled diabetes. I had one come in with an insulin pump hidden under his shirt one time and lost his mind when I wouldn't pass him. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
