There are several ways to get CME (continuing medical education) credit by using your smartphone. Several years ago, there were only a handful of options. Today, there are many more ways to get CME on your smartphone.
Here are some examples of medical apps, medical websites, and other smartphone resources that will allow you to participate in CME activities on your smartphone:
- Epocrates Mobile CME
- Real CME
- ReachMD
- Medscape
- Skyscape CME Stat
- QuantiaMD
- MedPageToday (mobile website)
- UpToDate (point of care CME)
- XtraCredit
This is not a comprehensive list, but you'll see that this list continues to grow each year. The bottom line is that busy physicians are looking for ways they can get their CME credit by using their smartphones. They're probably not going to spend a few hours going through a CME activity on a device that has such a small screen, but they'll spend 15 or 30 minutes reviewing something. As smartphone web browsers become more sophisticated and more powerful, we'll be capable of viewing almost any type of web page on a smartphone. This means that you'll get to view any type of online CME on your smartphone.
