Family physicians are often the first source of medical advice for many patients, and the ability to diagnose and prepare treatment plans for common acute health conditions is integral to providing high-quality care. Incorporate emergency medicine into your practice through AAFP continuing medical education for urgent care, and discover the best emergency medicine CME for your practice.
Our emergency medicine CME courses cover a wide range of common emergency and urgent care topics, including:
Suturing techniques
Dizziness and vertigo
Neurology and pain
Headaches and stroke
Drugs to avoid in the elderly
Approaches to fever
And more
AAFP continuing medical education courses can provide a range of CME credits from a single credit up to 42.25 credits for our full Emergency and Urgent Care On Demand course.
To maintain AAFP membership requirements, family physicians must report at least 150 credits of approved CME every three calendars. Please keep in mind that your state licensing board may require an additional amount of CME or more specific requirements as well.
Continuing medical education credits can be acquired via online self study or in the form of conferences or summits. Explore upcoming emergency medicine CME conferences on our events page.
