Frequently Asked Questions about MyCME

When can I expect to see my credits inside MyCME after a live event?

Thank you for attending an ACS-sponsored event. Your MyCME record will be updated with your earned credit 30-45 days post the day of the event.

How do I add CME Credits to the MyCME records for courses I took outside of the ACS?

Select Add CME to log CME credits earned through other providers. Enter the information requested, upload the corresponding documentation (optional), and click the Save button at the bottom of the page. Select Add CME to begin a new entry. Pro Tip: To enter aggregated CME totals for like activities, include the date range in the Program name field (i.e., Grand Rounds (January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021), and enter the most recent date as the Date Awarded.

What is the difference between CME Credit and Self-Assessment Credit?

CME Credit is achieved by attending the event, and completing requirements proving your attendance, many times a course or meeting evaluation. Self-Assessment Credit is earned by passing a post-test which reflects your newly found acumen for the course.

Why did I receive a Certificate of Completions instead of a CME Certificate for the activity I completed?

Certificates of Completion are for attendees that registered for an event as a Resident or other healthcare professional. Please contact Member Services if your ACS profile has not been updated since residency.
