Online Collaborative and Supervisory Practices CME Now Available

The Board has launched a new Continuing Medical Education (CME) Learning Management System offering on-demand online courses designed to support the ongoing professional development of medical practitioners in Alabama.

Our first courses, “Understanding Collaborative Practice in Alabama,” “Supervisory Practice in Alabama,” and “Supervisory Practice: The Role of an Anesthesiologist Assistant and Supervising Anesthesiologist”, offer comprehensive insights and guidance tailored to the unique aspects of medical practices in Alabama.

Course Highlights:

Understanding Collaborative Practice in Alabama: This course explores the details of collaborative practice agreements, ensuring that collaborating physicians are well-versed in the legal and practical aspects of working in collaboration with CRNPs and CNMs.
Supervisory Practice in Alabama: Focused on the responsibilities and best practices for supervising physicians and PAs, this course is essential for those in supervisory agreements in Alabama, or those aspiring to be.
Supervisory Practice: The Role of an Anesthesiologist Assistant and Supervising Anesthesiologist: This course covers the responsibilities and best practices for supervising anesthesiologists and AAs, whether currently practicing together or anticipating doing so.

These courses meet the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners’ requirement that all physicians, AAs, and PAs, effective January 1, 2025, have obtained continuing medical education prescribed by the Board of Medical Examiners regarding the rules and statutes governing collaborative and supervisory practice in Alabama, not more than sixty (60) months prior to January 1, 2025, or within twelve (12) months of commencement of the collaborative or supervisory practice.

For physicians, these courses also meet the Board of Medical Examiners’ requirement of obtaining continuing medical education prescribed by the Board of Medical Examiners every forty-eight (48) months following commencement of a collaborative or supervisory practice.
