   Dr. Lirag, Our CME department offers the following response:

    

   If your specialty board does not offer Category 1 CME credit for the journal exercises you’ve described, you could choose to claim your time spent in reading the journals as self-directed learning and claim Category 2 credit accordingly.  Requirements for tracking Category 2 credits apply. You can find more information on CME on the Pennsylvania Department of State website via this link: https://www.dos.pa.gov/ProfessionalLicensing/BoardsCommissions/Medicine/Pages/CME-Requirements.aspx.
