A Message to Members KMA is resuming its bimonthly e-newsletter, Kentucky Health eNews. This publication was temporarily paused in an effort to streamline communications during the pandemic and was replaced with Member News Alerts. Information related to COVID-19 may be shared in Kentucky Health eNews, while breaking and/or urgent developments will continue to be distributed through Member News Alerts as necessary.

Reminder: 2020 “Meet the Mandates” Virtual CME Now Available Online Physicians from across the state may now access KMA and the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure’s 2020 “Meet the Mandates” CME at no cost at www.kyma.org/MTM2020. The sessions allow physicians to receive all of their mandated CME prior to the end of the three-year cycle. Participants must complete the evaluation for each session viewed in order to claim CME credit. Topics include Clinical Considerations of Substance Abuse and Critical Components of Proper Prescribing (HB1), Domestic Violence Education, and Pediatric Abusive Head Trauma. Meet the Mandates is presented in partnership with the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, and the House Bill 1 sessions were made possible in part by a grant from the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) Foundation. For more information on what education is required for your specialty, please visit kyma.org/MTM2020.
