North Dakota Board of Medicine Joins ACCME and State Medical Licensing Boards Collaboration

The North Dakota Board of Medicine has joined the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and State Medical Licensing Boards Collaboration. North Dakota licensees who have completed their CME activities can now report the data to participating boards in the upgraded Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS). "The Board can view the relevant data to more readily determine that physicians who are applying for license renewal or reinstatement have fulfilled North Dakota's regulatory requirements for CME participation," ACCME explains. Clinicians can also use CME Passport to find, monitor and produce transcripts of reported CME. The council reports that boards can now streamline licensing renewal/reinstatement, demonstrating their leadership to the Board and physician-learners. "By decreasing the administrative burden of CME reporting, you provide additional value for your learners—enabling them to spend less time tracking and uploading CME credits and dedicate more of their time to high-quality learning—and most importantly, to patient care," ACCME notes.
