Continuing Education Updates

This initiative intends to reduce burdens and streamline CME reporting for Oregon licensees through the new and improved Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS). Learn more about PARShere. More information about the Board's efforts to improve CME reporting will soon be available on this page.

Ongoing Specialty Board Recertification
Licensees may fulfill CME requirements through ongoing specialty board recertification (known as Maintenance of Certification). OMB staff will verify participation in recertification directly with the certifying specialty boards. Refer to OAR 847-008-0070 for acceptable specialty boards.

Pain Management Requirements
As of January 1, 2022, HB 2078 (2021) requires pain management continuing education on an ongoing basis. Recognizing that all providers play a role in a patient's pain management care and that up-to-date knowledge is one of many tools, OAR 847-008-0075 requires all actively licensed Board licensees to complete the Oregon Pain Management Commission's (OPMC) continuing education course "Changing the Conversation About Pain," at initial licensure and every two years. OPMC provides the one-houreducation program through a free online course updated every two years. More information is available on ourpain management webpage.
Cultural Competency Requirements
As of July 1, 2021, HB 2011 (2019), requires cultural competency continuing education for health care professionals. Oregon Medical Board licensees must complete an average of at least one hour of cultural competency education per year during an audit period a condition of licensure as required inOAR 847-008-0077. The cultural competency continuing education may, but does not have to, be accredited continuing medical education (CME). The law was written to allow a wide array of courses or experiences. More information is available on our cultural competency webpage.
Audits
Licensees will be randomly audited for CME compliance, including specific pain management and cultural competency requirements outlined above. If selected for an audit, you will be notified by e-mail and physical mail. The audit notification will provide directions on how to submit your materials.
Audited licensees have 60 days from the date on the audit notification to provide documentation of CME obtained during the audited license period.
Failure to Respond to an Audit
Licensees should retain documentation of participation in specialty board recertification or completed CME hours in a safe place so that they can be easily produced if asked for verification of continuing education.
