CME Course Accreditation
BID Needham is accredited by the Massachusetts Medical Society to provide continuing medical education for physicians. BID Needham designates this live activity for a maximum of thirty-six (36.0) AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s).
Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Please check your individual state licensing board requirements before claiming these credits.
Application is pending with the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). The AAFP invites comments on any activity that has been approved for AAFP CME credit. Please email the AAFP at if you have any comments on the quality of this activity.
Successful completion of this CME activity — including completing the evaluation — enables the participant to earn up to 36 Medical Knowledge (MOC) points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) MOC program.
Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

The National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) states that AMA PRA Category 1 Credits are acceptable for continuing medical education requirements for recertification.
