Michigan Osteopathic Physicians CME Information

As a courtesy to MOA Members, this is a reminder that all Michigan licensed Osteopathic Physicians must complete 150 hours CME during the 3 years immediately preceding the application for renewal. Of the 150 hours, at least 60 hours must be earned in Category 1 programs.

To better serve our members, the MOA has developed an online CME platform to help you meet MI LARA CME requirements. For a current listing of MOA Learning Center On-Demand CME programs offered to members at a discounted rate, visit www.domoa.org/meded

MDHHS COVID-19 Vaccine information

MDHHS has prepared a COVID-19 Vaccine webpage for providers. It is the ‘COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Guidance and Education Resources’. Another way to access this site is directly from the Department's COVID-19 vaccine webpage: www.michigan.gov/COVIDvaccine, then selecting “Provider Guidance and Education”.

This webpage will have valuable information to support COVID-19 Vaccine Providers in the successful implementation of the COVID-19 Vaccination Program. It will also be home to a live MDHHS COVID-19 Provider Toolkit. This toolkit is currently being worked on and as soon as it becomes available, we will get a message out. This webpage will be partnered with CDC to provide important and timely education as it is arriving.
