Reporting CME
How to Report CME Credits
If you've earned CME credit, be sure the ABPMR knows about it. There are a couple ways this information is reported and recorded in our system:
-
Self-Report
- Sign to your abpmr.org account
- Click on "Certification Dashboard" from the Welcome Back menu
- Click on the CME progress bar in the ‘My Timeline’ section of your dashboard
- Click on the "Add New Credits" button at the top of the page
- Fill out the form and click "Save" or "Save and Add Another"
- After saving, exit either by clicking the "Return to Certification Dashboard" link in the left corner or click "Sign-out" from the Welcome Back menu
-
Credits Reported by Other Organizations
In order to serve you better, the ABPMR has data sharing agreements with several PM&R-related organizations. This means that certain credits you earn with these organizations are automatically reported to the ABPMR and will appear on your Certification Dashboard a few weeks after the date of completion. If you need to modify any credit information reported by outside organizations (highlighted in yellow on your CME report), please contact the organization providing the CME credit; they will make the correction and report to the ABPMR.
See the table below for what kind of credits are reported to the ABPMR.
Organization Credits reported to ABPMR Contact information American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) - All CME credits for AAPM&R activities
- SA credits earned through PM&R Journal or Archives of PM&R (2007 and 2008 only)
-
Other AAPM&R activites
NOTE: Must be an AAPM&R member for credits to automatically transfer
Contact the AAPM&R Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP) - CME credits earned at the AAP Annual Meeting
Contact the AAP American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) - CME credits associated with ABPMR-approved SA activities

Credits Associated with Other CC Activites
When you complete a self-assessment or quality improvement project that has associated CME credits, the organization offering those activities will automatically report both the activity and the associated CME to the ABPMR. You do not have to self-report those credits. Keep in mind that every organization has a different reporting schedule, so it may take time for the credits to show up on your Certification Dashboard.
