Important Information regarding CME credits for physicians who attend Illinois Health Connect (IHC) webinars:
- Webinars eligible for CME accreditation are listed as “Pending” certification until the webinar is approved by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) for 1.0 hour of CME credit. The title of accredited webinars listed on the IHC webinar webpage will be updated from “Pending” to “Accredited” when approved.
- When the provider attends an IHC webinar, he/she will receive a post-webinar survey link. The survey must be completed in order to earn credit for attending the webinar. In about six to eight weeks, Illinois Health Connect will send the provider a CME certificate via email (using the email address identified by the provider from the completed survey).
- Illinois Health Connect webinars that are eligible and approved for CME accreditation fulfill both AAFP Prescribed CME credit and AMA PRA Category 1 credit.
- The AAFP website contains details of the CME Credit AAFP/AMA Equivalency Agreement, which can be viewed at the following link - http://www.aafp.org/about/policies/all/equivalency-agreement.html. The AMA accepts AAFP Prescribed CME credits as equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 credit.
