As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Continuing Medical Education (CME) requirements for healthcare professionals, including physicians, in North Carolina can vary depending on the specific licensing board and the type of medical license. The North Carolina Medical Board (NCMB) oversees the licensure of physicians in the state.Physicians in North Carolina are generally required to complete a certain number of CME credits as part of the license renewal process. The specific CME requirements may differ based on factors such as the physician's specialty and the type of license they hold.For the most accurate and up-to-date information on CME requirements in North Carolina, I recommend checking the official website of the North Carolina Medical Board or contacting the board directly. They can provide the latest information on CME obligations for maintaining licensure in the state.
