CME and CE Broker
CME Requirements:
A minimum of sixteen (16) Category 1 American Osteopathic Association (AOA) hours are required. If American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Board Certification is held, AOA hours can be substituted with Category 1 American Medical Association (AMA) hours.
If you hold an Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) or Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) registration, one (1) of the sixteen (16) hours must be on the topic of Proper Prescribing at a course previously approved by the Board. If you do not, you are exempt from this requirement and will need to obtain the standard Category 1 credits for all required hours.
If at any time during the CME Cycle of July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025, you were a Resident or Fellow you are exempt from CME requirements this cycle.
To report one of the exemptions above (i.e. Resident/Fellows and Out of State Licensees) select “Additional Options” in your CE Broker Dashboard.
CE Broker:
CE Broker is now the official CME tracking software used by OSBOE. This renewal year, CE Broker has been integrated with the existing licensure software.
