The California Medical Association’s (CMA) Institute for Medical Quality (IMQ) is offering new online medical-legal courses for continuing medical education (CME) credits.

The currently available courses include two developed by the CMA legal department that cover commonly asked legal questions on medical records retention and the termination of the physician-patient relationship. Additional courses are currently in development and we will notify you when they are available.

IMQ Online Education provides access to courses for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit (TM) and helps physicians maintain their licenses and meet board certification requirements. California physicians are required to complete 50 CME hours during every two-year licensure period, with reporting deadlines based on the physician's personal license renewal date (the last day of the month of the physician's birthday).

The IMQ courses can be accessed from anywhere on any internet-enabled device. The system also offers easy and convenient tracking of course participation and credit. Discounts are available for CMA members.
