Teaching Credit Application Form
This credit only applies to individuals who participated in learning during the preparation stage for the purpose of teaching. Neither preparation nor teaching, by itself, is sufficient for the purpose of claiming CME credit.
Example: a physician has residents and/or fellows in his or her office and sets aside time for discussion of a topic related to a special interest on the part of the student, or to a patient seen at a previous visit. The physician spends time preparing for this conversation by researching the topic and learns in this process, then the physician is eligible for credit under this new guidance for the time spent discussing that topic with the student/resident.
Physicians may not claim credit simply for allowing residents/fellows to follow them around and observe for several hours, or for providing residents/fellows with feedback on the way to conduct an interview or perform a part of the physical exam based on accumulated experience over the years.
If you did not prepare to teach, and therefore did not learn anything new, spending time with residents/fellows by itself is not sufficient to receive credit. If there is no learning that can be identified in the preparation stage, there is no credit for spending time with residents or fellows.
I attest that I engaged in active learning in order to prepare to teach medical students and/or residents/fellows.
