Note: This equivalency agreement is not intended to bypass ACCME accreditation, which is required to designate AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
AAFP Prescribed credit is approved for CME activities that have been designed primarily for physicians and have had AAFP member input.AFP Prescribed credit is accepted by the following organizations. Participants contact them directly about how participants should report the credit they earned.

At the end of the training session, participants will be given a link to a course evaluation. After completing the course evaluation, participants will receive a certificate of completion indicating the number of hours of participation (up to an eligible maximum amount) . The certificate may be used as documentation to claim CE hours for their relevant organization. It is up to the participant to report their individual hours to their credentialing or certifying body.
