  • The Carver College of Medicine’s CME Division is accredited to provide AMA PRA Category 1 Continuing Medical Education Credit for qualified programs.
  • Typical offerings include: grand rounds, case conferences, tumor boards, journal clubs, M&Ms as well as many annual conferences. All of these programs can be found on theCME website (see above).
  • The CME Division has skilled education professionals who will help you apply for CME credit and/or plan your CME event.
  • We suggest going to our website and saving it as a favorite. Do some exploring.
  • CME uses a learning management system called Cloud CME. This is accessed through our website (see above) under CME Portal. Through this website, you can see and register for events, update your profile, complete your evaluations, access your transcripts, claim credit, pay any registration fees, etc. One improved feature is you can text in your attendance at grand rounds and other internal series meetings. Texting is not used for conferences.
  • We suggest using an app (called CloudCME) which is available at no charge through the app store on your phone or other device. We suggest downloading the app now.
  • You may access your transcript at any time through your CloudCME app or on the website, within the CME Portal and listed under My CME. This system will keep track of all credits awarded by the CCOM. We do not track credits awarded by other CME providers in our database. If you want to upload certificates from outside CME conferences, you should scan and save your documentation, go into the CME Portal, My CME, Transcript and then upload your saved documentation. This documentation will appear directly below your UI transcript so it can all be in one place for your convenience.

The Iowa Health Professions Inventory,contains demographic, educational, and professional information for over 11, 000 actively practicing Iowa health care providers. The inventory characterizes the health care workforce (e.g., specialty, age, gender, worksite, etc.), monitors trends, and facilitates research on the state’s health care workforce. Its benchmarking capacity enables users to track changes in supply and geographic distribution over time. The tracking system is monitored and updated on a continuous basis, incorporating changes in the workforce due to deaths, retirements, relocations, and new practitioners entering practice.
