REQUIREMENTS: Designating and awarding credit for participation in the live activity teaching medical students and residents:

For example: faculty may be awarded 2.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for 1 hour spent teaching or 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for 45 minutes spent teaching. Credits should be rounded to the nearest one-quarter credit. 
  • AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ should only be awarded for teaching that is verified by the UME and/or GME office.
  • Faculty may not receive credit more than once for the same time period, even if the audience involves residents and students from more than 1 program, being verified by 2 or more different LCME/ACGME programs. 
  • In addition to the institution being ACGME accredited, the residency/fellowship program itself must also be ACGME accredited in order for faculty to be awarded AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for teaching residents/fellows in that program. 
  • Physicians may claim credit for a variety of interactions. Types of teaching activities include, but are not limited to, formal presentations to medical students, residents/fellows; development of cases, clinical problems; supervising clinical or simulated activities; instruction on clinical or other skills; assessing learner performance (clinical or simulation settings); mentoring QI or PI projects; and mentoring scholarly activities. 
  • Physicians must submit a verification form signed by the UME and/or GME office representative (program director, course director, clerkship director, chair, or division chief).

A practice gap is the difference between what you currently know or can do and what you need to learn in order to teach effectively. When requesting CE credit for learning from teaching, briefly describe: 1. The gap – what knowledge/skill you lacked. 2. The learning – how you closed the gap. 3. The result – how it improved your teaching. Example: “I needed to teach residents about updated diabetes guidelines but was unfamiliar with the 2023 changes. I reviewed the new standards and updated my teaching materials. As a result, I was able to provide residents with current, evidence-based recommendations.”
