CME Reporting & CE Broker
CCMS is pleased to offer a $20 discount on professional CE Broker accounts to all CCMS members.
The Florida license renewal system requires physicians to track their CME credits in the Department of Health (DOH) online continuing education tracking system called CE Broker.
DOH will verify each renewing physician’s continuing education credits in CE Broker at the time of renewal. Physicians will be prompted to report additional CME credits if their continuing education records are incomplete (i.e., less than the hours required of that particular licensee for that particular licensure term). CME providers in Florida have the option to report attendance data for their activities but are not required to do so.
To register: contact the CCMS office for the discount code to use with the CE Broker online sign-up: call 239-435-7727 or email us.
