Understanding CME Requirements

Continuing Medical Education (CME) is a critical component of professional development for healthcare practitioners in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) mandates specific CME requirements to ensure that healthcare professionals maintain their competency.

Key Compliance Standards

Healthcare professionals must adhere to several standards:

• Complete a minimum number of CME hours annually
• Participate in accredited programs only
• Document all learning activities
• Pass assessment requirements with a minimum score of 70%

How to Stay Compliant

1. Plan Your Learning

Create an annual learning plan that aligns with your specialty requirements and career goals.

2. Choose Accredited Programs

Ensure all training programs you enroll in are accredited by SCFHS and comply with NELC standards.

3. Track Your Hours

Maintain accurate records of all CME activities through the Mumaris Plus platform.

4. Engage Actively

Active participation in courses, including completing assessments and providing feedback, enhances both compliance and learning outcomes.

Conclusion

CME compliance is not just a regulatory requirement; it is an investment in professional excellence and patient safety.
