CME Category 2
The CAP designates Surveys for up to 15 credit hours per Survey
per year (except for those listed in Category 1) in Category
2 of the Physician's Recognition Award (PRA) of the American
Medical Association (AMA). Each physician should claim only
those hours of credit he/she actually spends in the educational activity.
The physician participant is responsible for totaling and
reporting Category 2 credit hours, which are given for nonsupervised
individual medical education. Ninety hours of Category 2 credit
are accepted by the AMA toward the 150 credit hours required
in a consecutive three-year period in order to qualify for the PRA.
The CAP designates this activity for up to 15 credit hours
in Category A3 of the Pathology Continuing Medical Education Award.
Cytotechnologists
PAPC/PAPM and NGC provide continuing education opportunities
for cytotechnologists. Cytotechnologists will earn continuing
education credits (CECC) through the American Society of Cytopathology
(ASC) and the International Academy of Cytology (IAC). PAP
and NGC are also approved for continuing education credit
in the states of Florida and California.
