AMA announces free online education hub for docs and other healthcare workers

The American Medical Association (AMA) today announced its new online education portal offering physicians and other healthcare professionals a streamlined way to find, earn, track and report continuing medical education (CME) and other education.

A selection of free ACR content is being hosted on the AMA Ed Hub and is now accessible to all learners, regardless of AMA and ACR membership status, as part of the AMA and ACR’s collective mission to educate physicians and healthcare teams. Learners can find, take and claim credit for these ACR activities directly through the new platform, as well as download a branded ACR CME certificate upon completion. All completed activities will also be tracked and appear in the learner’s AMA Ed Hub transcript.

Designed to support personalized lifelong learning, licensure and certification needs for physicians and their care teams, the new AMA Ed Hub has something for everyone and covers a wide variety of topics and specialties in one centralized online location - helping clinicians stay current in their practice while reducing the administrative burdens associated with tracking and reporting learning.

The AMA Ed Hub features activities on clinical and interdisciplinary topics from a variety of trusted sources, including the CME activities from the JAMA Network’s JN Learning, AMA STEPs Forward, and the American College of Radiology (ACR) - the AMA Ed Hub’s first medical specialty society content partner to offer education on the platform. Activities cover important topics such as opioids prescribing education, firearm safety, precision medicine, ethics references as well as a wide range of trending clinical content.

The AMA Ed Hub automatically reports education credits earned through the platform directly to select medical licensing boards. Physicians who are board certified with the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Pediatrics or licensed in Tennessee or North Carolina will be the first to experience automatic credit reporting through the platform. The AMA plans to expand these capabilities to additional specialty and state boards.
