About CME Passport
CME Passport is the all-in-one, free, centralized web application that enables you to find, track, and manage your CME.
Our Purpose
CME Passport was built by the ACCME, the national accrediting authority for continuing medical education. Our goal is to reduce your CME reporting burdens, so you can focus on patient care, rather than paperwork.
How it Works
Create Your Account
Create your personalized account to view and manage your reported CME and MOC credits and generate transcripts for your state medical licensing board, employer, or credentialing body.
- Your CME provider will ask you for permission to report your CME credit.
- You’ll need to give your CME provider your month and day of birth and state of licensure. In some cases, you’ll also need to provide your license ID.
- Your CME provider will report your CME completion information to the ACCME. The ACCME will transmit the information to CME Passport. Please note that your information must be submitted by your CME provider. You are not able to self-report CME completion information to CME Passport.
- When you login to your CME Passport personalized account, you’ll be able to see the CME completion information that CME providers have reported on your behalf.
- You can create a transcript of your reported CME and MOC credit and email that to your licensing board, employer, credentialing body, or any other regulatory authority you choose.
- You do not need to report CME or MOC credits to medical or certifying boards that are collaborating with the ACCME. Those boards will have access to the information. See below for a list of the boards.
Choose CME
- When you choose a CME activity, ask the accredited CME provider if they will report your CME completion information to the ACCME.
- If the CME provider is not planning to report your information, ask them to contact the ACCME at info@accme.org. We will be happy to work with them to facilitate their participation.
- Visit Find a CME Provider for a searchable database of accredited providers with contact information and other details.
Access to Your Account
You will have access only to your own account. You will not be able to view other physicians’ accounts and they will not be able to view yours.
Access to the information in your account is limited to the following:
- Staff at the accrediting bodies (ACCME, state medical societies, and Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education) can access your information for the purposes of administering and supporting accreditation and collaboration programs with state medical boards and certifying boards.
- State medical licensing boards and certifying boards that are collaborating with the ACCME have access to the data submitted for their physicians only.
- Regulatory bodies with whom you have shared a transcript via CME Passport.
